Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons hot water or lemon juice
  • Food coloring (optional)

Step by step

Method

  1. Sift the powdered sugar into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
  2. Gradually add one tablespoon of water or lemon juice at a time, whisking vigorously the whole time.
  3. Continue until you achieve a smooth, pourable mixture with the consistency of thick cream. If the icing is too thin, add a little more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add a few drops of water.
  4. If you want to make colored icing, divide the mixture into several portions and add a few drops of food coloring to each.
  5. Decorating extras: Besides icing, you can use many other ingredients to make your gingerbread cookies look special:
  6. Sugar sprinkles: colorful balls, stars, hearts, snowflakes.
  7. Sugar pearls: white, silver, gold, or in various colors.
  8. Cinnamon sticks
  9. Cloves
  10. Nuts: sliced almonds, walnuts, chopped pistachios.
  11. Dried fruit: pieces of dried cranberries, candied cherries, raisins.
  12. Tip: For the sprinkles to stick well, apply them to the icing before it sets.
