Sugar Cookie Frosting
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 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
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- This recipe makes about 1/2 cup of frosting (about enough for one color).
