Powdered Sugar Icing

This icing gives sugar cookies the sweetness they need, without the heaviness of buttercream or cream cheese frosting. 

1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon milk or orange juice (I always use milk)

In a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk. Slowly stir to combine. Add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches desired consistency (drizzling or spreadable).

Makes 1/2 cup. Double or triple for large batches.

Add food coloring for decorating.

Perfect icing for Sugar Cookies.
