📝 Preparation Steps

Stir together the sugar, 3 tablespoons milk, corn syrup, and vanilla in a medium-sized bowl until combined.(If icing is too thick, add the remaining tablespoon of milk, until the icing is thick but pipeable. If it's too thin, add a little more powdered sugar until desired texture is reached. If you drizzle a little of the icing with a whisk, the ribbon of icing will hold for a few seconds before melting back into the icing. That is when you know it’s the right consistency and is ready to use.)

powdered sugar (, sifted)3 cups

If coloring the icing with different colors, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.

Transfer icing to a piping bag with a piping tip (I use Wilton 5.)

Pipe icing onto cookies and decorate, as desired. (If using sanding sugar or sprinkles, they need to be added before the icing starts to set.)

Allow icing to completely harden at room temperature before enjoying (this can take anywhere from ⏱️ 3 hours to overnight depending on the consistency and thickness of your icing.)
