Re: Recipe for making icing for sugar cookies

I use this one, you can play with the consistency by adding more milk.

They can get drippy so make sure to lay newspaper or a towel on the counter. I usually will then paint the cookies and put them on the cooling rack to dry.

I use a bbq basting brush if I am only using one color.

Sugar Cookie Icing

INGREDIENTS
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
assorted food coloring



DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired
intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush
