This smooth and glossy Sugar Cookie Icing is super easy to make in just 15 minutes! It hardens on top of your cookies beautifully, and it tastes as good as it looks.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups (345g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3-4 tbsp of milk or water
  • Gel icing color

Directions

  1. 1

    Add the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons cream to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined. It may seem dry at first, but it’ll come together.

  2. 2

    Add additional milk or cream to get the right consistency.

  3. 3

    Divide the icing into as many bowls as you need for the colors you want. Stir in gel icing color, a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired shade.

  4. 4

    Add the icing to squeeze bottles or piping bags with small round tips for piping, or use a knife or offset spatula to spread the icing onto your cookies.

  5. 5

    Allow the icing to dry. For it to be fully hard and able to be stacked on, give it 4-5 hours or overnight.
