Alex and I originally developed this icing to use on our pumpkin oatmeal cookies. Over the past few years, used it on so many more recipes, from strawberry bread to muffins of all kinds. We’ve also created fun flavored spins like lemon glaze and chocolate glaze. Here’s how to make this quick and easy recipe!

Mix together powdered sugar and milk. Stir together ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until all the lumps dissolve and the texture is smooth. This makes ¼ cup powdered sugar icing. If it’s too thin you can add a little more sugar, or if it’s too thick you can add a hint more milk. Drizzle on cookies or muffins. Make sure that the cookies or muffins are fully to room temperature, otherwise the icing will melt. That’s it!

Instead, drizzling icing with a fork gives you the best control and helps you make a perfectly thin lines. You can also pipe icing using a pastry bag. But this powdered sugar icing is the type meant for drizzling on cookies, muffins, and Bundt cakes: and using a fork is the easiest way to do it!
