On to Grandma Rosella's Recipe #2 - Sugar Cookie Icing

Heaven in a bowl! Thanks Grandma!


  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 teaspoons milk (I use whole milk, it's richer)
  • 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • assorted food colouring

Directions

  1. In your mixer, beat together icing sugar and milk until smooth. 
  2. Beat in corn syrup and vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy. 
  3. Icing too thick? Add a touch more corn syrup (Grandma didn't like measuring spoons, she just added stuff as she went)
  4. Get some small bowls and add a dollop of icing to each.  Add food colouring in varying shades to each. 


Now that you have sugar cookies, you can decorate them with this icing, then add candy or other sprinkles.
