Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, and anise extract. Mix well with a whisk or spoon until smooth and well combined. The mixture should be thick but still spreadable.
-
Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. The frosting should be thick enough to hold its shape but still soft enough to spread easily on the cookies.
-
If you'd like to add some color to your frosting, divide it into separate bowls and add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl. Mix well until the desired color is reached.
-
Once your frosting is ready, it's time to decorate your cookies. Use a small offset spatula or a butter knife to spread a generous amount of frosting on top of each cookie. You can also use a piping bag with a small tip for more intricate designs.
-
If you're adding sprinkles or other decorations, do so immediately after frosting each cookie to ensure they stick well.
-
Allow the frosting to set for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
-
Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. The frosting will harden slightly as it sits.
