Ingredients

  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar powder Sugar
  • 1 -3 Tablespoons Milk
  • 1 drop Lemon Juice fresh Or Processed
  • 1 tablespoon Light Corn Syrup

Instructions

  • Combine powder sugar, corn syrup, and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • !******This next step is important!******
  • If you need a thicker frosting, say for outlining your cookies, add LESS milk.
  • Just a drop at a time. If you have already outlined your cookies and need a to fill in or ’spill’ your cookies, you can add more milk (as much as you would need) to make your frosting very runny.
  • If you are using food coloring, be sure to use LESS milk. Most food colorings are liquid and can make your frosting more runny. If you are using a gel food coloring, your milk quantity can remain the same.
  • If you want to add different flavors, you can add drops of vanilla extract, almond extract, lemon, etc. to flavor your frosting.
  • If you want more SHINE, use more corn syrup and less milk. This frosting will stay good for days in the fridge.
