SUGAR COOKIE ICING



Sugar Cookie Icing image

This easy Sugar Cookie Icing recipe takes only minutes to make and it dries hard so you can stack or bag your beautifully decorated cookies!

Provided by Amy

Categories     Dessert

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 cups powdered sugar (, sifted)
3-4 tablespoons whole milk
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ((use clear vanilla extract if you need the icing to be bright white))
Pinch of salt ((optional depending on flavor preference))
Gel food coloring (, optional)
Plain cooled sugar cookies (, for decorating)

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.)
  • 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.)
  • NOTE: Don't miss all the coloring and decorating tips in the full article!
  • NOTE: This recipe makes enough to decorate 40, 3-inch cookies. Calories calculated are for the icing only and do not include cookies.

Time 15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 cups (345g) powdered sugar
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3-4 tbsp of milk or cream
Gel icing color

Steps:

  • Add the powdered sugar, corn syrup, vanilla extract and 3 tablespoons cream to a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together until well combined. It may seem dry at first, but it'll come together.
  • Add additional milk or cream to get the right consistency.
  • Divide the icing into as many bowls as you need for the colors you want. Stir in gel icing color, a little bit at a time, until it reaches your desired shade.
  • Add the icing to squeeze bottles or piping bags with small round tips for piping, or use a knife or offset spatula to spread the icing onto your cookies.
  • Allow the icing to dry. For it to be fully hard and able to be stacked on, give it 4-5 hours or overnight.

  • Combine the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of milk, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined and no lumps remain. The mixture will be pretty thick at this point.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon of milk (5 ml) at a time to the remaining 2/3 of the mixture until the icing reaches a filling consistency. When you lift your whisk or spoon from the bowl, the icing should quickly melt back into the bowl of icing.
  • Place the outline icing and fill icing in separate piping bags (or zip lock bags) and cut the tip off of each one. Outline each cookie with the outline icing, then use the fill icing to fill in the cookie. Use a toothpick if needed to move the icing around and fill in any empty spots.
