This sugar cookie glaze is perfect for decorating cookies with a smooth and glossy finish.
Combine the powdered sugar and milk in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the mixture is lump-free for a smooth glaze.
Add the corn syrup and vanilla extract, stirring until the glaze is glossy.
The corn syrup adds shine and helps the glaze set.
Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
Consistency should be pourable but not too runny.
Divide the glaze into small bowls and mix in food coloring as desired.
Use gel food coloring for vibrant colors without altering the texture.
Use the glaze to decorate cookies by dipping, spreading, or painting it on.
Let the glaze set completely before stacking the cookies.
