This is basically Wilton's recipe for poured fondant icing, with a bit of flavoring added to make it more appealing. The icing should be thin enough to pour, but not so thin it runs off the cookie. This dries to a nice glossy finish that can be painted or decorated with sugar. The recipe can easily be doubled.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar, or as needed
- 2 teaspoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon, orange, or almond extract
- 2 to 3 teaspoons light corn syrup, as needed
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine sugar with milk and vanilla. Add 2 teaspoons
- of corn syrup. The icing should be just thin enough to pour, but not so
- thin it will run over the edge of the cookie. If the icing is too
- thick, thin it with another teaspoon of corn syrup. If too thin, add
- additional confectioners' sugar, a teaspoon at a time.
- Using an icing spatula, coat cookies evenly with fondant. If decorating
- cookies with colored sugars, sprinkle sugar over the icing while it is
- still wet. If painting cookies, let icing set first.
- Use within a day.
