    Tasty Homemade Icing Recipe

    Icing Ingredients:

    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
    • 1-2 grams CBD Isolate
    • Food coloring (if desired)
     

    Extract Labs Tip:

    For a professional, polished icing finish on your cookies, try this tip: Hold an iced cookie with one hand while supporting it from below with the other. Gently sway the cookie from side to side, allowing any excess icing to settle and create a flawlessly smooth layer.

    Icing Instructions:

    1. Mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
    2. Add CBD isolate, corn syrup and almond extract, blending thoroughly.
    3. Incorporate food coloring for various vibrant hues.
    4. Decorate your cooled cookies using piping bags, small spatulas, or icing pens.
     
    For those seeking intricate designs or more decorating fun, consider using icing pens or thin-tipped brushes. Elevate your creations with sprinkles, colored sugars, or edible glitter for that extra festive touch.
