Delicious icing made with just a few ingredients.
Course Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl
  • split up the glaze and add food coloring as desired
  • you can add these to bags or if you have icing bags that's perfect as well!

Notes

** I basically just eye ball this to get it to the consistency I want! I like it a little thicker so I add more powdered sugar as needed.

So easy and so fun! Once you bake cookies and let cool, onto the decorating. I normally buy some fun edible spooky decorations at party city along with some sprinkles.

For the icing, I just make a ton and split it up between bowls and add food coloring to make it extra fun for the kids!

It’s such a fun thing to do with the kids. Especially since this year is booooo-shit with covid and all! (excuse my language sorry)

Why not make the best of it? Make a mess, have fun and just enjoy this crazy time!

Have a SpookTacular Day Ghoul Friends.
