Glossy Sugar Cookie Icing

This glossy sugar cookie icing is more firm than a typical frosting, but works well for more detailed cookie decorating.

• assorted food coloring

1. In small bowl, stir together confectioners sugar and milk until smooth. Beat corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more syrup.
