I did not think the amounts in the recipe were correct. I had to add way more milk and corn syrup. The end result was good but it was a big guessing game to get the correct consistency.

This was my first time making icing. We just made this using lemon extract ( by request of the kids) and the cookies look amazing and taste even better. I will definitely be using this recipe in the future. Thanks for posting.

This was very good. Have used a similar one in the past that didn't have Karo syrup. The syrup really did harden-up the icing which made the cookies easier to store.

This was a good recipe, it just didn't work for me very well. The consistency was always either too drippy or too stiff, but over-all my cookies turned out looking okay.

This was great for decorating Christmas cookies. I followed a suggestion and thinned it with corn syrup for the exact consistency. I also added blueberry extract instead of almond and put on cream cheese sugar cookies and OH MY GOOD!

As the recipe is written, it didn't work out very well for me because it was way too thick and difficult to spread. However, as a base recipe with a few tweaks to the measurements, it was very good - it tasted pretty good and dried very shiny. I used 1 cup confectioners sugar, 2/3 TBSP light corn syrup, 2 1/2 TBSP unsweetened vanilla almond breeze almond milk, and 1/8 tsp vanilla extract.
