It only takes 10 minutes to make this icing — perfect for holiday cookies.
Ingredients
2 cups powdered sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons whole milk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
Place 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons whole milk, and 1 tablespoon light corn syrup in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle a bit of the icing off of the whisk or a spoon over the bowl of icing; if the icing holds its shape for a few seconds before melting back into the icing, it's ready to use. If it is too thick, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon milk, checking consistency before adding more until the icing is the right texture.
Divide the icing into bowls and use food coloring to dye icing as desired. Let the icing dry overnight on decorated cookies.
Use the icing immediately or cover the surface with plastic wrap until ready to use. (See storing instructions below.)
