Sugar Cookie Icing

Ingredients

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk (water for icing to keep out for days)
  
• 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

1. In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
2. Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush.
