Sugar Cookie Icing

This is the frosting I use to decorate my sugar cookies.

Sugar Cookie Icing

Ingredients

6 cups powdered sugar
1/4-1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 tsp. almond extract
gel food coloring (in desired colors)

Directions

In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using an electric mixer) combine sugar and 1/4 cup milk.  Mix until smooth.  Add milk as needed to create a smooth mixture, one tablespoon at a time.  Add corn syrup and almond extract.

To decorate cookie, your outline icing should be the consistency of toothpaste, your flood icing should be the consistency of corn syrup.

Add food coloring one drop at a time until desired color is reached.  Pour into bottles, decorator bags or a cup.  Keep unused icing sealed until ready to use.
