Sugar Cookie Icing (No Corn Syrup)
This is a non corn syrup icing so it will not harden like the icing with corn syrup. I don't have anything against corn syrup it just is not available where I live. With this icing, you cannot stack the cookies. This will cover about 18 to 20 cookies on average.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- food coloring, color of your choice
- sugar sprinkles, as desired
Instructions
- All ingredients EXCEPT the food coloring into a bowl, and start mixing with a rubber spatula, it will get nice and smooth. To test the consistency, run a knife through the icing, the crease you made should close up in 15 seconds. If it takes longer, add milk 1/8 of a teaspoon at a time, if it takes less than 15 seconds, add 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar at a time.
- Once smooth, now we can add the food coloring. If using more than one color, go ahead and divide the icing into separate bowls. Place a drop of food coloring onto a paper plate or a piece of parchment paper, take a toothpick and dip into the coloring, then swipe the toothpick through the icing and mix in.
- Pipe the outline of the cookie, then work from the inside to the outer line you piped, and use a toothpick to smooth in any gaps.
- Sprinkle with sugar sprinkles if desired. Allow the icing to setup or serve and enjoy.
