I love painting cookies also and I have the prettiest glossy frosting recipe. This makes an easy to use frosting that will dry with a nice shiny coating.
Ingredients:
| • | 3 cups powdered sugar |
| • | 2 tablespoons milk |
| • | 2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
| • | 1/2 teaspoon almond, lemon or vanilla extract |
| • | food coloring |
Instructions:
| 1. | COMBINE powdered sugar and milk in small bowl. Stir until smooth. Stir in corn syrup and extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If too thick, add more corn syrup. |
| 2. | DIVIDE frosting into separate bowls as needed. Stir in food coloring as desired. Dip or brush frosting onto the tops of cookies. |
