Smooth Chocolate Icing

This icing is super easy to make plus I always have these ingredients on hand. It's sweet and delicious. It's perfect for cookies. I iced Mrs Sigg's Peanut Butter Cookies (AR recipe) with it and sprinkled chopped peanuts on top. It hardens quickly with a nice glossy look.

The fast set-up time mentioned by other reviewers suited my need to get some cookies ready to mail in a hurry on a rainy day. However, it set up so fast that it was hard to get sprinkles to stick, even doing one at a time! I think next time I may try adding another tablespoon of milk. This is good tasting icing, and would be ideal, as is, to use as a cookie filling. It was enough for 2 dozen medium cookies. If it was a little thinner, it might be enough to cover quite a few more.

Perfect! Used cream instead of milk and added just a tiny splash more. Used a silicon spatula to combine till smooth then loaded into decorating bag and piped onto cookies. Worked out great and tasted good too. Used semi-sweet mini-chips since it's what I had. Will absolutely use again to pipe onto cookies, brownies, and other desserts. Seems like it's a bit thick to use as a dipping icing though but could probably just add more milk to thin it out.

This simple and tasty icing is excellent for cookies. It did set up quickly so I just added a bit of milk as I went along.
