Ingredients

  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar aka 10x sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Instructions

  • ** Add the milk to the sugar in the bowl and mix. Mix until a smooth consistency is achieved.
    Add the corn syrup. 
    Mix together until smooth.
  • If the icing needs to be thinned, thin with milk and not corn syrup. I double the recipe so there is enough to flood sugar cookies and decorate cookies without having to stop and make a second batch of sugar cookie icing.

Notes

While I omitted vanilla extract in the original recipe this recipe does lend itself to flavoring if desired. Add 1/4 tsp of orange or lemon extract for a nice twist.
