In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla until well combined. Add ¼ cup of water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth but thick. It should fall off the whisk in a thick stream with the fallen ribbons of icing holds their shape for about ⏱️ 10 seconds before sinking back into the bowl of icing. This is the easy cookie icing for drawing borders. Divide the icing and dye with gel food coloring as desired. Place the thick icing into piping bags or zip-top bags with ⅛ inch cut off one end.
