Icing that hardens

This is the frosting that goes onto the sugar cookies recipe. =] It tastes good and once it hardens on the cookie it's amazing <3

Ingredients:

2 Cups confectioners sugar (the original recipe owner says it has to be sifted, but I didn't sift mine)

1 tablespoon milk (add more if its too thick to spread nicely on cookies)

1 tablespoon light corn syrup

1/4 teaspoon almond extract ( you can use 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla if you run out of almond)

Food coloring

Directions:

1. In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar with milk (start with 1-2 tablespoons) if it's too thick at the end of adding everything else add more milk.

2. Beat the corn syrup and almond extract into the icing until it becomes smooth and glossy, you can add a small amount of corn syrup if the icing is too thick.

3. Divide the frosting into as many different bowls as you want. My friend Sam and I used 4 bowls. Once you've divided it evenly into the bowls add the food coloring until you get the color you wanted.

4. Paint the icing over the cookies either using a brush or dipping the edges into the cookies. We bought a pack of cheap paint brushes and used one for each color.

5. Let your cookies set on wax paper until the frosting hardens completely and then om nom nom!
