Składniki

• 45g Milk

• 4g Vanilla Extract

• 1.5g Salt

Wskazówki

1. In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and salt.

2. Use a rubber spatula to stir mixture until smooth.

3. The consistency should be thick enough that it won't run off cookies, but thin enough that the icing "melts" back in on itself when you drizzle a spoonful over the bowl. Tip: If your icing looks too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk until it looks right. If it is too thin, add 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until it looks like the proper consistency.

4. Once you reach the correct consistency, add optional food coloring.

5. Once colored, spoon the icing into a piping bag (or plastic bag with the corner snipped off). To ice the cookies, pipe an outline around the edge of the cookie then working your way from the outside in, fill in the center.

6. Immediately after piping on the icing, use a toothpick to spread out the icing and fill in any holes. Top with sprinkles, if desired.

7. Allow icing to dry on the cooling rack for 2-3 hours until the icing starts to firm up. Note that this powdered sugar icing will not completely harden, meaning that you don't want to stack these cookies after they are iced. If you want an icing that completely hardens, you will instead want to make a traditional royal icing for sugar cookies.
