Not overly impressed, did not shine up as stated, and did not flow onto cookies. Taste was ok.

I used this recipe yesterday to ice some sugar cookies for a baby shower I was hosting...I decided to make them last minute and this worked perfect because it hardened quickly making it easy for me to stack them. I was worried about the amount it made but it iced 4 dozen cookies, which was enought. THanks for posting!

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!

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!
