Time 15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups (345g) powdered sugar
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp of milk or cream
Gel icing color

Steps:

  • Add the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons cream to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined. It may seem dry at first, but it'll come together.
  • Add additional milk or cream to get the right consistency.
  • Divide the icing into as many bowls as you need for the colors you want. Stir in gel icing color, a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired shade.
  • Add the icing to squeeze bottles or piping bags with small round tips for piping, or use a knife or offset spatula to spread the icing onto your cookies.
  • Allow the icing to dry. For it to be fully hard and able to be stacked on, give it 4-5 hours or overnight.

I love this recipe. I could eat at least ten in one sitting which is why I exchanged some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many.
