Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, light corn syrup, and water.
Step 2
Stir the mixture thoroughly until smooth and glossy. The consistency should be slightly thick but pourable.

Divide the mixture into small bowls, one for each color you plan to use.
Step 4
Add a small drop of gel food coloring to each bowl. Use more or less depending on the intensity of the color you desire. Mix well to evenly distribute the color.
Step 5
To apply the stained glass paint to cookies, use a clean brush or a toothpick to carefully paint designs on hardened royal icing or directly onto plain cookies.

Allow the paint to dry completely, which can take 2-4 hours depending on humidity and thickness of the paint layers.
Step 7
Repeat with additional layers if more color intensity is desired.
