Lemon icing

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 drops egg yellow coloring

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients with a whisk or spatula until smooth and adjust consistency with a little more water or powdered sugar as needed for desired consistency for piping.
  • I use a 10-second icing, in the bowl, I drag the spatula across the icing and in 10 seconds you can no longer see the line that a made.
  • I piped the icing onto the cookies with a piping bag fitted with a #2 tip and pressed the iced cookies into a shallow dish of sprinkles for them to stay and be pressed into the icing, so they wouldn't fall off when the icing dries.
  • Allow icing to dry for several hours before stacking or packaging cookies.
