Cookie Icing/Frosting That Hardens

• 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (sifted after measuring)
• 1 tablespoon low-fat milk (skim or 1% is fine although I have made this successfully using 2% fat milk)
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup (more if needed to reach desired consistency)
• 12 teaspoon almond extract
• 14 teaspoon vanilla
• food coloring (use colors of choice)

1. VERY IMPORTANT; the confectioners sugar must be sifted before using.
2. In a bowl beat the sifted confectioners sugar with milk until smooth.
3. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until smooth and glossy (if icing is too thick add in a small amount of corn syrup).
4. Divide into as many separate bowls as desired.
5. Add in different food coloring to each bowl beating/whisking until the intensity is achieved.
6. Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush or dip the cookie edges into icing (this will set quite quickly).
7. Place cookies on waxed paper to dry.
