Notes
- For an enhanced flavor, add vanilla extract to your cookie frosting mix. Or use any extract for new flavors!
- The right consistency should be thin enough that it drizzles, but thick enough that it takes a few seconds to disappear back into the mixture.
- For best results, use gel food coloring and don’t add too much. The more you add (especially if using water-based food coloring) the more your icing will thin.
- If the icing is too thick for piping, add a bit more milk.
- Store icing covered so it doesn’t dry out.
