Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Confectioners’ Sugar
  • 1.5-1.75 Tbsp Water

Instructions
 

  • Place the confectioners’ sugar in a bowl.
  • Add the water gradually—start with 1.5 tablespoons and mix well.
  • Check the consistency. If needed, add a tiny bit more water to thin or a bit more sugar to thicken.
  • Divide icing and add food coloring. (optional)
  • Decorate your cookies or cake and allow to dry.

Notes

Spoon the icing into a disposable piping bag for easy and clean decorating. 
Snip the end of the bag with scissors and decorate. Always start with a small hole. You can always make it larger.
