Shiny Cookie Icing

  4.6 – 64 reviews  • Cookie Frosting

To make these delicious, crispy air fryer shrimp, just add an egg, fish fry seasoning, and a dash of oil. Use the fish fry breading mix from your preferred brand. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as cocktail sauce or lemon-garlic aioli. If you like to use standard cooking spray, feel free to do so. I prefer to use a Misto® sprayer with my own oil.

Samantha Roman
Great icing! Shiny and sets up nicely. I made a half batch and it was enough for about 4 dozen cookies.
Michael Booker
Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this icing is!
Juan Flores
good! I love that I didn’t have to heat anything. just mix ingredients and your ready to decorate. appreciated this recipe!
Jerry Anderson
Definitely need a few more teaspoons of milk otherwise, great!
Alan Bond
Really good on store bought dough!
Regina Nelson
I liked this icing , added the zest of one orange to it, and used it for my annual Xmas cookie decorating party with my grandkids. They loved it too!
Olivia Fisher
It was great even if it was less solid then I was expecting. Though I think the person who posted this recipe mixed up tablespoons and teaspoons when it comes to the milk. 4 tablespoons of milk instead of teaspoons gets the desired result.
Heather Santiago
I had to add more milk to get the best consistency.
Andrew Smith
Vegan happy icing. I used almond milk instead of regular milk and I also enjoy using Lyle’s Golden Syrup in place of corn syrup. LGS is made with Cane sugar.
Fernando Wilson
I added a little extra milk and corn syrup-it was very dry
Brittany Mcgee
Really easy to make and perfect just as recipe called. Added some food coloring and cookies came out festive and tasted great.
Jacob Swanson
I did not like the consistency or the flavor of this icing so I will not use it again, but it was easy to work with, spread nicely and gave me a nice base for other decorations made from a different frosting recipe.
Kelsey Schmitt
I also had to add more milk. Too bland for me.
Jennifer Baker
this recipe required more milk than what was listed, but was good.
Mark Jackson
Delicious, maybe need 1.5 amount to match my cookies.
John Hernandez
So easy to make and it looks great on the cookies…worth the trip to buy the corn syrup which I never used before. I used a good quality artist paint brush to apply and it went on perfectly. Love that it takes just 2 minutes to mix. I did add a few drops of water as it was too stiff and still set up perfect on each cookie.
Breanna Herrera
Quick, easy, and Fantastic!

I would make again. Based on other reviews, I carefully paid attention to the amount of milk. With the recipe’s amount of milk, it was still a big glob of powder! I doubled the amount of milk and it still seemed too thick but I tried it out . It goes on kinda thick but then seems to settle and morph into a nice smooth glaze. I tried just a little more milk and it was easier to spread but I noticed it ran a little off the side. So I’d stick with DOUBLE the milk.
Tony Franklin
This recipe is excellent! I did cut it in half and it was the perfect amount to drizzle over 3 & 1/2 dozen cookies. It is simple and glossy when it sets up. I will be using it again and recommend it!
Karl Ramirez
Nice, glossy frosting that I will make again. This was the right amount for the 32 regular-sized cookies that I just frosted. As I just saw a reviewer mention, I also had to add A LOT more milk to get the right spreading consistency. It kept a good consistency, not drying out, while I was frosting. The sugar cookies I frosted had vanilla in them but were kind of plain tasting. I like to bump up the flavor, so I added some almond extract to the frosting, and they were excellent. I’m gifting these in cellophane bags to some friends, with green and pastel sprinkles (St Patty’s Day and Spring!).
Erin Hayes
The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because it needed a LOT more milk, but that was no big deal! This is really adaptable- You can add whatever type of extract you would like. I added lemon. Perfect on soft sugar cookies!
