Sugar Cookie Icing

Ingredients

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons milk (or water)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional) as desired

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, sift 2 cups of powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
2. Add 2 tablespoons of milk (or water) and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the powdered sugar.
3. Mix until combined, adding more liquid gradually if needed to achieve your desired icing consistency. For a thicker icing, keep it on the stiffer side. For a more spreadable glaze, add more liquid.
4. If desired, divide the icing into separate bowls and add food coloring to each bowl, mixing until the color is uniform.
5. Transfer the icing to piping bags or squeeze bottles for easy application.
6. Decorate your sugar cookies using various cookie decorating techniques such as flooding or piping.
7. Let the decorated cookies sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until the icing is completely dry.
