Prep Time 5 minutes
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar powdered sugar
  • a few drops food coloring use your favorite colors
  • a few drops vanilla extract
  • a few tablespoons water

Instructions
 

  1. Stir about 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar, with a few drops of food coloring, a few drops of vanilla extract and add water slowly 1 tablespoon at a time (keep stirring) until you get to a medium consistency.
    It should be thick enough to hold your letters when you pipe them onto the cookies. If its too thin the letters will run together and its frustrating as heck. Too thick and it will be hard to squeeze out of the frosting bag. I used tip #5, but a smaller one might work just fine.
  2. Practice writing your letters on wax paper first and wait about 20 seconds for it to harden.
