Sift the powdered sugar in a medium/large bowl. Add in the corn syrup, vanilla extract, and milk or water. Stir vigorously until smooth.
2 cup powdered sugar, 1 & ½ tablespoon corn syrup, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 & ½ tablespoon milk or water
Add more milk is needed to get to your desired consistency. You want the icing to slowly fall off the spoon, leaving a pretty thick layer behind it.
Divide the icing into multiple smaller bowls if making multiple different colored batches. Use to decorate cookies, let the icing set at room temperature before storing the cookies in an air tight container.
