3-Minute Frosting

ingredients

1. 1 cup confectioner's sugar

2. 3 teaspoons of milk

3. 2 t. corn syrup

4. 1/4 t. vanilla extract

5. food coloring (optional)

3 Minute Frosting Steps

1. Add confectioner's sugar to mixer bowl. Add milk, corn syrup and vanilla. Whip until smooth.

2. The frosting should be thick. If it seems runny you can add a little more confectioner's sugar. If it seems too thick you can add more corn syrup but it will thicken as it stands. It's better for it to be too thick than too runny.

3. Pour food coloring into icing (optional) If using more than one color of food coloring, divide the icing into smaller bowls and add food coloring to each bowl.

4. NOTE – to help the icing set up faster, put frosted cookies on a baking sheet and pop them into the fridge for 30 minutes. Once the top gets hard you can stack the cookies or wrap them in cellophane to give as gifts. Keep in a air-tight container for 1 week or freeze them.

5. Ghost eyes = mini chocolate chips. Ghost mouths = frosting with coloring.
