I used this recipe to make Easter chicks and bunnies for Linda's Coconut Cream Almond Joy Easter Eggs, Linda's Butter Cream Easter Eggs and Linda's Peanut Butter Easter Eggs. Worked great!

Amazing recipe, but had to add extra corn syrup (as recipe stated). I went a little nuts with the presentation lol (will upload picture soon) and my cookies have a beautiful springtime essence to them. Thank you so much!!! Edit: I uploaded the wrong picture by accident...I don't know what happened but I'm sorry. I don't know how to delete it, or if I can :

This is a great recipe for those times you don't have meringue powder and you don't want to use egg whites. I didn't care for the flavor at first, but it really grew on me, and it was fine with the cookies. I might try it with lemon extract next time. The icing dries hard and shiny, but it does take overnight to do this. The recipe as written makes a great icing for outlining, then I thinned it some to flood the cookies. I made a contrasting color to pipe decorations, worked great!

I love this recipe! I have always hated icing sugar cookies and just had to try this recipe when I saw that painting and dipping were ways you could use it. I tried dipping first and it worked, but made my hands too messy (and I was trying to do several things at once and kept having to wash them), so, I switched to painting them with a sponge paintbrush and got several dozen cookies finished in a very short amount of time! Now I can make sugar cookies more than just at Christmas and Easter! I did add a little more corn syrup and milk than the recipe called for to get it to a thinner consistency. Thanks for posting, Junebug!
