For sugar cookie icing:

(I don’t measure the icing ingredients out. I just make it.)

1. Pour powdered sugar into a bowl.
2. Add milk, pouring small amounts in at a time, stirring after each addition..
3. Once it is the thickness you want, add a few drops of food color and a splash of vanilla.

TIP: To get the perfectly iced cookie like the ones above, take the cookie and place it in the icing face down. Then pick it up, using a spoon to remove some of the extra icing.
