Hello out there!  Yes, I am still alive.  Generally, I know I post about 5 times a week; this week has been 2.  I have had ALOT going on.  Sorry. But to make it up to all of my loyal readers, I have a great recipe for icing for those Easter cookies you may be making soon.  In our family we make Christmas cookies; for is that not where the story of Easter began?  This icing dries to a smooth, shiny, hard finish to make decorating easier.

A decorating tip for the younger kids; you can now buy edible color markers made by the Wilton corp.  You should be able to find them at Wal-mart in the craft section with the cake decorating supplies or Micheal's or any craft store that carries decorating supplies should have them.  They work great with this recipe.

Cookie Icing

1 c. confectioner's sugar (a fancy term for powdered sugar)

2 t. milk

2 t. light corn syrup

Mix sugar & milk then add in syrup and stir well.

Pour over cookies and allow to dry

Optional: I like  to add a little snap to mine so after pouring the milk into a measuring cup, I will take out 1 t.  and put it back into the jug.  After mixing all ingredients well, I will add 1 t. of lemon flavoring.

Note: If you are going to add sprinkles or edible glitter, you will need to sprinkle them on while the icing is wet.
