Icing for cookies (Help!)?
I need help on how to make icing for my cookies. I have a recipe and I know it works. However, I need to know why from the same batch of icing, when I separate them for different colours, one may be runny while another one holds together well. Could you please help me by telling me how to ensure that when I make the icing that it will not just spread out like goo when I pipe it onto the biscuit and how I can get a good consistency. (eg. more icing sugar etc) Thanks!

This is the BEST icing recipe for cookies. I get so many good ideas from this website c:
Sugar Cookie Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup shortening
5 tablespoons milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Food coloring
Cream the sugar and shortening until smooth and fluffy, then beat in the milk and vanilla until stiff, about 5 minutes. Color with food coloring if desired.
Enjoy! :3
