Sugar Cookie Icing Recipe is tasted and looked good and was pretty easy to work with. I used this on the Soft Christmas Cookies by Georgie Bowers. I will use this again. great for traditional iced cookies. Icing takes a good 6-8 hours to completely dry.

Ingredients:

1 assorted food coloring

1 cup confectioners sugar

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

2 teaspoons milk

2 teaspoons light corn syrup

Method:

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.

Notes and Tips:

add a little more milk to make it thinner and easier to brush onto the cookies if you are getting artistic, like I do.

Adding more syrup will not allow it to dry and it will stay gooey until you eat them

I use frosting food colors from the cake decorating section of my craft store, they work great.
