Ingredients

Instructions

  • Combine powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized bowl and stir until combined. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, about a teaspoon at a time, until the frosting is thick but pipeable. If you accidentally add too much milk, add powdered sugar until desired texture is reached.
  • Divide into small bowls and add food coloring (if desired).
  • Transfer frosting to a piping bag with a piping tip.
  • Pipe frosting on cookies and decorate with sprinkles/candies, if desired.
  • Allow frosting to harden before serving, stacking, or storing (will most likely take several hours depending on your climate).
