Ingredients:  
2 c. powdered sugar
6-8 t. milk
4 t. corn syrup
1/2 t. almond or vanilla extract
Food Coloring - optional

Directions:
Directions:
1. Stir powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add 6 t. milk, corn syrup, and extract. Stir vigorously until icing is smooth and no lumps remain.

2. If needed, add additional milk to thin icing. Test the desired consistency for spreading by lifting a spoonful from the bowl. It should drizzle back down slowly and mound gently. If using colored icing, divide into small bowls and stir in food colorings.

Tips:

1. Pipe an outline of icing around the edges. This makes a dam for clean icing edges.
2. Use the same tip to fill in the middle. A small knife or toothpick helps smooth over any gaps.
3. If using sprinkles, decorate immediately. The top layer will harden quickly.
4. Set cookies on baking sheets to fully harden. This will take 12-24 hours, depending on the amount of frosting used.
