Description
A simple and forgiving icing for sugar cookies, perfect for creating delightful decorations and memories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the ingredients begin to come together, watching for any lumps to soften and dissolve.
- Stir until smooth and well blended. Keep stirring until the surface looks glossy and a ribbon forms when you lift the spoon.
- If desired, add food coloring to achieve the desired hue. Add it sparingly, a little at a time, and stir slowly so the color spreads evenly.
- Use immediately to frost sugar cookies, allowing the icing to harden before storing.
Notes
For best results, sift powdered sugar before mixing. Adjust milk for desired thickness.
