COOKIE ICING/FROSTING THAT HARDENS

Steps:

• VERY IMPORTANT; the confectioners sugar must be sifted before using.
• In a bowl beat the sifted confectioners sugar with milk until smooth.
• Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until smooth and glossy (if icing is too thick add in a small amount of corn syrup).
• Divide into as many separate bowls as desired.
• Add in different food coloring to each bowl beating/whisking until the intensity is achieved.
• Paint the icing over the cookies using a brush or dip the cookie edges into icing (this will set quite quickly).
• Place cookies on waxed paper to dry.

SUGAR COOKIE FROSTING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the butter, shortening, powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, the vanilla extract and almond extract with an electric hand mixer. Add a bit more milk at a time, if needed, until it's the desired consistency - it should be thick, but spreadable.
• If coloring the frosting with different colors, divide into bowls and color as desired at this point.
• Spread on top of cookies with a dull knife or transfer to a piping bag.
• Top with sprinkles , if desired (they need to be added right away before the frosting sets.)

SUGAR COOKIE CUPS WITH COCONUT BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
• Scoop up 2 teaspoons of cookie dough and roll into a ball. Place the ball in the prepared tin. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
• Dip the bottom of a shot glass in flour and use to press each ball of dough into a cup shape; the top of each cup should be about 1/4 inch below the rim of the tin.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes. Press again with the shot glass to reinforce the cup shape. Continue baking cookie cups until very lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until well blended. Add coconut milk and coconut extract; beat at high speed until frosting is light and fluffy. Add 1 tablespoon coconut milk if frosting is too thick.
• Spoon or pipe frosting into each cookie cup. Decorate with colored sugar, candy sprinkles, and shredded coconut.
