Sugar Cookie Icing - This icing recipe is the "Holy Grail" of icing. Colorful, glossy icing transforms plain sugar cookies into edible works of art. Ours is flavored with almond extract, but feel free to use vanilla or peppermint, or whatever flavor your heart desires. Stir the powdered sugar and the milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy.

Sugar Cookie Icing instructions

  1. Measure out powdered sugar and set aside.
  2. Measure milk and pour into medium to large bowl.
  3. Slowly add powdered sugar, making sure to mix well after each addition, or it will become clumpy..
  4. After all sugar has been added, mixture WILL BE VERY THICK. Add your corn syrup, and mix well..
  5. Add your extracts. I like almond emulsion because it is thicker and tastes better, as with the lemon oil, however, extracts will work..
  6. If mixture is still too thick, you can add more corn syrup, but only a little at a time..
  7. Separate and color!.

Sugar Cookie Icing - If desired, tint cookie icing with food coloring of choice. Spread icing on cookies using a knife, spoon or frosting bag or bottle. TIP: If you are piping around the edges of your cookies, the icing should be thick. With a melted butter base, this sugar cookie icing is made without light corn syrup (a riff on this recipe from Tieghan of Half Baked Harvest) and has a decadently rich flavor that you can't achieve with the sugar and water glazes that often adorn sugar cookies. You start with the simple ingredients of powdered sugar and milk. Mix the powdered sugar and milk with a fork until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and one tablespoon of milk. Thank you and good luck
