Cookie Decorating Frosting image

Secret recipe from the bakery! A yummy frosting that sets up into a hardened glaze on top of the cookie, but remains tender to eat. Great for taking cookies 'on the road' because they won't stick together.

Time 5m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon almond extract
3 teaspoons water
2 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup (for shine)
food coloring
water or sugar, for consistency

Steps:

  • Mix together sugar, flavoring, measured water, corn syrup, and food coloring. Slowly add enough water to make frosting a spreadable consistency (should be thicker than Elmer's school glue).
  • If a strong color is desired, decrease water so that the food coloring doesn't make frosting too runny. If you get the frosting too runny, add a little powdered sugar.
  • Spread on cookies (add sprinkles or other toppings immediately). Allow to dry about 30 min or until no longer sticky. Will set up into a glaze so cookies won't stick together when stacked.
  • This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of frosting (about enough for one color).
