This is the best icing recipe for decorating sugar cookies. It’s easy to make, and dries into a nice and smooth finish. Plus, there's an option without corn syrup!(This is our favorite cut out cookie recipe!)

Ingredients

  • 2 cupspowdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoonsmilk
  • 1 tablespoonlight corn syrup or honey (see notes)
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla, almond, peppermint, or coconut extract
  • food coloring

Directions

  1. 1

    Combine powdered sugar, two tablespoons milk, corn syrup or honey, and vanilla extract, adding more milk until icing reaches desired consistency. For piping and spreading, you're looking for a thicker icing. For dipping cookies, you'll want something a little bit thinner.

  2. 2

    Pipe, spread, or dip onto baked cookies. If you'd like to use sprinkles, apply them before the icing dries.
