Time 10m

Yield 40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (sifted after measuring)
1 tablespoon low-fat milk (skim or 1% is fine although I have made this successfully using 2% fat milk)
1 tablespoon corn syrup (more if needed to reach desired consistency)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
food coloring (use colors of choice)

Steps:

  • VERY IMPORTANT; the confectioners sugar must be sifted before using.
  • In a bowl beat the sifted confectioners sugar with milk until smooth.
  • Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until smooth and glossy (if icing is too thick add in a small amount of corn syrup).
  • Divide into as many separate bowls as desired.
  • Add in different food coloring to each bowl beating/whisking until the intensity is achieved.
  • Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush or dip the cookie edges into icing (this will set quite quickly).
  • Place cookies on waxed paper to dry.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3/4 cup cold water
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Mix water and gelatin. Let stand 5 minutes. Add granulated sugar over low heat until sugar and gelatin dissolve. Transfer to mixing bowl, and add powdered sugar, baking powder, and vanilla. Beat about 10 minutes. You'll know it's done when it turns white and the consistency changes. Should be sort of marshmellowy.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use unsalted butter that has been softened to room temperature. This will help the frosting to cream together smoothly.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream on hand, you can substitute milk or water. However, the frosting will be thinner and less creamy.
  • If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, add more heavy cream.
  • To make a chocolate frosting, add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder to the frosting. For a peanut butter frosting, add 1/2 cup of peanut butter.
  • If you want a brightly colored frosting, add a few drops of food coloring. You can also use natural food coloring, such as beet juice or turmeric.
  • If you're not going to use the frosting right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Karen's favorite cookie frosting is a versatile and delicious frosting that can be used on a variety of cookies. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a frosting recipe, give Karen's favorite a try. You won't be disappointed!
