Categories     Desserts

Time 2h18m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups powdered sugar
2-4 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon light corn syrup or honey (see notes)
1 teaspoon vanilla, almond, peppermint, or coconut extract
Food coloring

Steps:

  • Combine powdered sugar, two tablespoons milk, and corn syrup or honey, 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.
  • Pipe, spread, or dip onto baked cookies. If you'd like to use sprinkles, apply them before the icing dries.

I love this recipe. I could eat at least ten in one sitting which is why I exchanged some butter with non-fat plain yogurt. They still taste great and I feel a lot better about eating so many.
