This recipe was great. No modifications needed. You get a nice thick spreadable icing. This will be my new icing recipe.

This icing is beautiful - even when slopped atop my first-time sugar cookies it looked great! I hope to do it better justice during the upcoming holiday baking season!

I've used this recipe a lot and it's pretty much fool-proof. It's very easy and always hardens well. I've used both almond and vanilla extract and they both result in very impressive sugar cookies...try it!

I gave this five stars, but I started with 2 Tablespoons of milk, then followed the rest of the directions. It seemed to be much easier to mix up. You can always add more powdered sugar. I always sift it so there are no lumps.

This is the best icing!! I used it plain white to decorate my gingerbread, and it turned out GREAT! The outside set quite quickly, (while we were still decorating the other gingerbread,) but still stayed soft on the inside for four days sitting out uncovered. I did have to add more milk because it was too dry at first, and changed it to vanilla extract instead of almond because my boyfriend prefers vanilla. I will definitely use this recipe again. And again. And again! ;)

I LOVED this recipe. I made sugar cookies for my boyfriend when he went off for Thanksgiving to his grandmothers, and I used this for the icing. The only thing I don't agree with was the measurements, because mine turned out too thick. I had to add alot more milk and extract. But if you just do it to your own taste, it turns out wonderful. The colors stayed bright, and it dried nice so I could stack them easy. Definitely a keeper.

At first I thought I had done something wrong. I took a look at other reviews, and added more milk. My kids had such fun decorating their Thanksgiving cookies! For the acorns, we tinted some of the icing brown, and some gray. For the pumpkins we did orange, and the leaves we did red, yellow and orange. The icing was easy to work with and made the cookies look great! Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is amazing, but definitely additional milk is necessary. Just add 1 teaspoon at a time until it reaches desired consistency. Other than that it tastes great and looks amazing once it's set.

At first I did not think I had done this correctly, but the end result was fantastic! I had to add 2 TBLS. milk to get a good consistency, I don't know if that had to do with our high elevation or not.

Loved it but I didn't find the measurements very accurate to description. I added more corn syrup for the higher gloss. The prettiest icing I've used and it tasted great!

The best sugar cookie icing ever! Makes the cookies shiny and the icing dryes hard fast so you can stack them up to store.

Great Recipe! The part I liked most about this, besides the glossy finish which is hard to achieve with other recipes, and the fast drying icing, was the size of the recipe as posted here, is the perfect size for multiple batches in different colors. You won't end up with too much icing in one color. I used lemon extract instead of vanilla -- and can't recommend this. I stopped the lemon after 1 batch; it was way too strong. At this point I was out of vanilla extract so actually did not add any extract to the rest of the batches and it was still great. Now, if someone can just tell me how to do the creative icing part with eyes and words without making the character look very silly, I am all set!

This was great once I got it to the right consistency. I quadrupled this recipe because I had to ice 60 cookies. However, I had to add A LOT more corn syrup and milk to get this to a spreadable consistency. Don't know how much I added total but it ended up being over 1/4 cup of each. Worked great once I figured it out though.

This is getting a 5 for the flavor, tasted so good and added just the right touch to my sugar cookies. As far as preparing the recipe, I had a little bit of trouble with my first batch because there was just not enough milk. The recipe says to add more corn syrup if it is too thick, but that really didn't help. The second batch I made, I added about 3 tsp. of milk & 3 tsp. corn syrup. It was the perfect consistancy for decorating my cookies!!!

Super easy and turned out great! I had to add a tad more milk, but other than that did everything as written. Also, this is great with other extracts (vanilla, maple, peppermint, etc.). Thanks for the great recipe!

I have tried MANY different icings/glazes for cookies and cakes. This one is perfect! I used vanilla extract rather than the almond, and had to add more milk, still it came out perfect. Also, I loved the glossy look and it dried quickly. THANK YOU!

AMAZING!! I've done this recipe now for both a family reunion, and our harvest party, and will be doing it again for Thanksgiving. I got rave reviews from my family. Made it by the recipe, with the accident of spilling the almond extract...I think I had maybe a full teaspoon or more go in... But it turned out SOO good just the same! Family LOVED it! (and as long as you're using more than one color frosting per cookie, if one of the frostings is over-almond-ed, it doesn't matter) My husband and I had a blast painting our cookies! This is a new family classic. THANK YOU!!!
