Sugar Cookie Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon clear vanilla or lemon juice or almond extract
• 3 teaspoons water
• 2 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup (for shine)
• food coloring
• water or sugar, for consistency

Directions

1. 1

   Mix together sugar, flavoring, measured water, corn syrup, and food coloring. Slowly add enough water to make frosting a spreadable consistency (should be thicker than Elmer's school glue).

2. 2

   If a strong color is desired, decrease water so that the food coloring doesn’t make frosting too runny. If you get the frosting too runny, add a little powdered sugar.

3. 3

   Spread on cookies (add sprinkles or other toppings immediately). Allow to dry about 30 min or until no longer sticky. Will set up into a glaze so cookies won’t stick together when stacked.

4. 4

   This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of frosting (about enough for one color).
