★ COOKIE ICING/FROSTING THAT HARDENS

TESTED & PERFECTED COOKIE ICING/FROSTING THAT HARDENS Recipe. Step-by-Step. is perfect for busy families. Comes together quickly with a few staple ingredients!

INGREDIENTS

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) 1?2 teaspoon almond extract 1?4 teaspoon vanilla food coloring (use colors of choice)

DIRECTIONS

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