Powdered Sugar Glaze

This almost translucent icing firms up after standing and gives cut-out cookies a smooth glazed surface—perfect for decorating cookies.

Recipe Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, softened
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract, if desired
Food color, if desired

Cooking Directions:

1. Combine powdered sugar, water, butter, corn syrup and vanilla in small mixer bowl; mix until powdered sugar is moistened. Beat at medium speed until smooth, adding additional water if necessary to reach desired spreading consistency. Tint with food color, if desired.
2. Glaze cooled cookies. Let stand until hardened (6 hours or overnight).

Makes 1 1/3 cups.
