This will harden and it will hardens quite quickly, it's the perfect icing to decorate cookies, if desired you may omit the vanilla, I like to add it in, the amounts may be reduced by half if desired. Ingredients:
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (sifted after 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 (more if needed to reach desired consistency) |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
food coloring (use colors of choice) |
Directions:
1. VERY IMPORTANT; the confectioners sugar must be sifted before using.
2. In a bowl beat the sifted confectioners sugar with milk until smooth.
3. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until smooth and glossy (if icing is too thick add in a small amount of corn syrup).
4. Divide into as many separate bowls as desired.
5. Add in different food coloring to each bowl beating/whisking until the intensity is achieved.
6. Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush or dip the cookie edges into icing (this will set quite quickly).
7. Place cookies on waxed paper to dry.
