Sugar Cookie Icing

I found this while making Christmas cookies with the kids and it was the best one I've found yet. It takes color really well and the touch of lemon tastes great. Play around with other flavors if you like!

NOTE: This doesn't make much. We went through 4 batches before we were done with the sugar cookies. it does get hard fast and it was easy to whip up more as needed.

Ingredients

• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoons milk
• 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
• assorted food coloring

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 till desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush.
