Directions
Stir minimum amount of milk into sugar with a small wire whisk or a fork to make a soft smooth icing.
Stir in optional food coloring and flavor extract.
If mixture is too stiff, add milk in very tiny increments until correct consistency is reached.
Pipe icing from a pastry bag to outline cookies or make simple motifs, or simple drizzle on designs.
If coating the cookie, use a small metal spatula to spread icing over entire top surface or dip cookie into icing, using the metal spatula to trim away excess.
If mixture hardens, remix with a bit of water, whisking well to make icing smooth.
Allow cookies to dry to a dull shine before storing.
