Soft Flooding Icing

Icing which dries hard enough to the touch, but does not crack your teeth when eating. It also tastes good! Great to flood cookies.  

Ingredients:
Makes about 2 cups

• 3 cups icing sugar 
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1 1/2 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp golden syrup
• 1/2 tsp almond extract
• food coloring

Directions:
In a small bowl, stir together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in golden syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more milk, very little at a time. Stir in food coloring to desired intensity. Paint, spread, or dip cookies with icing, and allow to set.
