Sugar Cookie Icing

Reviewed: Dec. 13, 2008

As others suggested, I increase the milk gradually, then I increased the light corn syrup. I use 1 tsp. vanilla extract. After you are done icing the cookies, place them in the refridge for several minutes so that the icing dries faster (then you can stack the cookies).

Potato Chip Cookies II

Worth the calories! Use a thin potato chip like Lays. Do not flatten dough with a fork. Just drop dough from a teaspoon or a medium/small scoop. Bake cookies only until edges are slightly browned (do not over cook). Dust with powdered sugar when still warm. Enjoy!
