POURED COOKIE ICING

My daughter, Jennifer, gave me this recipe, but it originally came from Wilton.

This icing takes food coloring really well. You can even get a really good black and red with this!  It is especially good on sugar cookies.

Place in bowl and stir until mixed thoroughly:

       1 cup powdered sugar

       2 teaspoons milk

Add and mix well:

       2 teaspoon light corn syrup
Option:  Add food coloring to all or parts of icing.

Option 1:  Place icing in decorator bag and pipe around top edges of cookie (like an outline.)

Option 2:  Fill in areas with thinned icing (add small amounts of light corn syrup until desired consistency is reached).
Option 3:  Using thinned icing, gently drop cookies face down into frosting.  Lift out and place face up on cooling rack with wax paper or a cookie sheet underneath rack to catch drippings.
