Recipe

• 2 if a strong color is desired, decrease water so that the food coloring doesn’t make frosting too runny. if you get the frosting too runny, add a little powdered sugar.
• 3 spread on cookies (add sprinkles or other toppings immediately). allow to dry about 30 min or until no longer sticky. will set up into a glaze so cookies won’t stick together when stacked.
