Ingredients
Scale
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup (125 g) confectioners sugar
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Flavor Enhancer:
- 1 3 drops lemon juice
Instructions
- Carefully transfer confectioners sugar through a fine-mesh sieve into a medium mixing bowl, ensuring a smooth, lump-free texture.
- Pour milk, light corn syrup, and freshly squeezed lemon juice directly into the sugar base.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly until a glossy, uniform glaze emerges with no visible streaks or separation.
- Evaluate the icing’s flow and spreadability, incrementally introducing additional milk or lemon juice to achieve the ideal drizzling consistency – neither too thick nor too runny.
- Apply the vibrant, silky icing immediately onto freshly baked sugar cookies, allowing for seamless decoration and artistic design.
Notes
- Sifting confectioners sugar prevents clumpy icing and ensures a smooth, silky texture that glides effortlessly across cookies.
- Corn syrup adds beautiful shine and helps create a glossy, professional-looking finish that makes your cookies look bakery-worthy.
- Lemon juice contributes a subtle brightness and helps thin the icing, making it easier to spread and creating a more refined decorating experience.
- Adjust consistency carefully by adding liquid in tiny increments, allowing you to control thickness for detailed piping or flooding techniques.
