Decorator Cookie Icing/Frosting (That Hardens)
By: KITTENCAL
Nov 19, 2007
This will harden and it will harden quickly! it's the perfect icing to decorate cookies, if desired you may omit the vanilla, I like to add it in 
SERVES 40
Ingredients
- 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (sifted afer 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
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- food coloring (use colours of choice)
Directions
1
In a bowl beat the sifted confectioners sugar with milk until smooth.2
Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until smooth and glossy (if icing is too thick add in a small amount of corn syrup).3
Divide into as many separate bowls as desired.4
Add in different food colourings to each bowl beating/whisking until the intensity is acheived.5
Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush or dip the cookie edges into icing (this will set quicky!).6
Place cookies on waxed paper to dry.

Kitten - perfect!! Thank you for recommending it!! I made hand shaped cutout cookies and used this glaze to frost them. And I added the silver balls to the ring finger for a wedding band - they were adorable!

This is fabulous icing! It really looks beautiful on sugar cookies and adds a lovely sweetness to them. I used a little more than 1 tablespoon milk and didn't use almond extract. It dries very quickly but it is very easy to spread on cookies. It leaves behind a glossy shine. Thanks so much for sharing Kittencal! I'll be using this again!

This worked well, once I got the consistency right. I used a paint brush and applied 1 light coat and then immediately a heavier coat. This took about 2 hours to set up so that I could stack them. I made cookies that looked like schnauzer dogs and have submitted a photo. I would recommend this frosting. Keep in mind that this won't taste like buttercream frosting. It is good but different than a fluffy tasting frosting.
