An icing that hardens so you don’t smuge your work!
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 white or clear corn syrup (more if needed to reach desired consistency) |
| ½ | teaspoon almond extract |
| ¼ | teaspoon vanilla |
| food coloring (use colors of choice) |
Directions
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.
