Simply stir the milk and confectioners' sugar together to make this gingerbread cookie icing! That's it. You'll find the full, step-by-step recipe below.
How to Ice Gingerbread Cookies
Use the gingerbread cookie icing to decorate your cookies however you like: Spread it on with an angled spatula or transfer it to a squeeze bottle or piping bag to make intricate designs.
Just make sure the cookies are completely cool before decorating.
How to Store Iced Gingerbread Cookies
Allow the icing to harden on the counter before you store the iced gingerbread cookies. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you're worried about the cookies sticking together, stack them with wax paper between each layer.

- 10 drops food coloring

Gather all ingredients.
Step 2
