Pink Sugar Icing for Crumbl Cookies
Ingredients
For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream for richer icing)
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (optional, for shine)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (pink or rose)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
-
Mix the Base:
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar and milk. Start with 2 tablespoons of milk and mix until smooth.
-
Add Flavor:
- Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The salt will help balance the sweetness.
-
Adjust Consistency:
- If the icing is too thick, gradually add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach a smooth, pourable consistency.
- If it’s too runny, add a bit more powdered sugar until you reach the desired thickness.
-
Add Color:
- Add a few drops of pink food coloring to your icing. Mix well until you achieve your desired shade of pink. Adjust as necessary.
-
Icing the Cookies:
- Once your crumbl cookies have cooled, dip the tops of the cookies in the icing or use a spatula to spread a layer on top. Allow the excess icing to drip off.
-
Let it Set:
- Place the iced cookies on a wire rack to let the icing set for about 30 minutes to an hour. If you’d like to add sprinkles, do it while the icing is still wet.
-
Serve:
- Once the icing has set, enjoy your beautiful pink iced crumbl cookies!
Tips
- For a thicker icing that holds its shape better, reduce the amount of milk.
- To create a swirl effect, you could use a lighter pink and white icing and swirl them together.
- Store any leftover icing in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
