Making the Perfect Icing for Your Christmas Cookies

Ingredients You'll Need:

• Confectioner's sugar
• Milk or water
• Vanilla extract
• Food coloring (optional)

Steps to Follow:

1. In a bowl, mix together 2 cups of confectioner's sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk or water until smooth. Add more liquid if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
2. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
3. If you want to add some color to your icing, divide the mixture into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each one. Mix until the color is evenly distributed.
4. Now comes the fun part - decorating your cookies! Use a spoon or a piping bag to spread the icing onto your cookies, or get creative with different designs and patterns.
5. Let the icing dry completely before storing or serving your cookies.

Tips for Perfect Icing:

• To prevent your icing from becoming too runny, start with a small amount of liquid and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency.
• If your icing becomes too thick, add a few drops of milk or water to thin it out.
• If you don't have confectioner's sugar on hand, you can make your own by blending regular sugar in a food processor until it becomes a fine powder.
• For a more vibrant color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid.
