Secret recipe from the bakery! A yummy frosting that sets up into a hardened glaze on top of the cookie, but remains tender to eat. Great for taking cookies 'on the road' because they won't stick together. Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon clear vanilla or 1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon almond extract |
3 teaspoons water |
2 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup (for shine) |
food coloring |
water or sugar, for consistency |
Directions:
1. Mix together sugar, flavoring, measured water, corn syrup, and food coloring. Slowly add enough water to make frosting a spreadable consistency (should be thicker than Elmer's school glue).
2. If a strong color is desired, decrease water so that the food coloring doesn’t make frosting too runny. If you get the frosting too runny, add a little powdered sugar.
3. Spread on cookies (add sprinkles or other toppings immediately). Allow to dry about 30 min or until no longer sticky. Will set up into a glaze so cookies won’t stick together when stacked.
4. This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of frosting (about enough for one color).
