Ingredients

• 2 cups sifted confectioners sugar (the sugar must be sifted)
• 1 Tbsp milk (adding in more if needed for proper spreading consistency)
• 1 Tbsp light corn syrup
• 1/4 tsp almond extract (you can also use 1/2 tsp vanilla in place of the almond)
• Food coloring (your choice of color)

Directions

• In a small bowl, mix the confectioners sugar with milk (start with 1-2 Tbsp. You will likely need more milk for the perfect spreading consistency).
• Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until the icing is smooth and glossy (if the icing is too thick, add in a small amount more of corn syrup).
• Divide into as many separate bowls as you wish for different colors.
• Add in food coloring until desired intensity is achieved.
• Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush, or dip edges of cookies into the icing.
• Allow to set on waxed paper.
