Cookie Decoration: Flood Technique and Recipe

4 c powdered sugar
8 t. milk
8 t corn syrup,
2 t vanilla
gel coloring.

Use this thickness to create the "dam", or outline of the cookie shape. Thin this with a tiny bit more milk for the flooding, which you should be able to spoon in and "flood" the enclosed area. Flooding consistency should still be pretty thick, falling off the spoon like molasses. You will need at least 24 hours for the frosting to firm up enough to stack cookies
