This recipe is quick, easy, dries hard and shiny and tastes good too. I originally got if from Allrecipes.

Lots of whining about consistency of icing!!!! The beauty of cooking is to follow directions first time exactly - THEN make your own adjustments. Almost all recipes in baking require adjustments depending on climate, humidity, sea level, temperature and individual preferences. Put your big girl or boy panties on and experiment. MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL. -
This icing is very adaptable. For flavoring, I used 2 drops of clear vanilla, and 1 drop each of lemon and almond extract. I've thinned the icing with milk to make a glaze, thickened a bit with more powdered sugar to pipe, and used it as is to spread on cookies. I really like that it dries to a glossy finish instead of dull (and tasteless) like royal icing.

This frosting was just the right consistency when I used 3 tsp milk instead of 2. I have been looking for a beautiful frosting like this, it is a keeper! Thanks

What a great icing! This kept a beautiful sheen which looks great on the sugar cookies we iced with it. I did have to add much more corn syrup than the recipe said in order to get it to a spreading consistency.

We doubled the recipe and used with sugar cookie recipe 81367 and it was perfect. I didnt have light corn syrup so used honey as a substition and it still worked great. The icing set up so nicely, hardened and was so shiney! will use everytime!
