Spider Web Cookies

No spreader needed for this icing! The icing spreds over the cookie quickly for easy and quick decorating.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (175 mL) milk
  • ½ cup (125 mL) plus 1 tbsp (15 mL) light corn syrup
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) vanilla
  • 10 cups (2.4 L) powdered sugar
  • ½ tsp (2 mL) food coloring (measure carefully; using too much will affect the detail of the design)
  • 3 dozen cookies, baked and cooled completely

Directions

  1. For colorless icing, whisk milk, corn syrup and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar; whisk until smooth. If icing becomes too thick, add additional milk, 1 tbsp (15 mL) at a time.
  2. Remove ½ cup (125 mL) icing; place in separate bowl. Add food coloring. Transfer icing to a Decorating Bag with writing tip, and set aside.
  3. Place cookies on Stackable Cooling Rack with waxed paper underneath to catch drippings. Using Medium Scoop, place 1 level scoop of colorless icing onto centers of cookies (working with 12 cookies at a time). Icing will spread.
  4. Immediately decorate cookies using colored icing with the following designs. (Icing sets within 3-4 hours.). 
  5. For spider web design: Draw a swirl pattern on top with black-tinted icing, starting in the center and working outward. Using the tester end of the Cake Tester & Releaser, start at the center point and drag it outward through the icing to the edge of the cookie. Repeat this process around the entire cookie until you weave your web.
