Steps:
- In a medium bowl, sift confectioners sugar and then combine with light corn syrup, milk or water, and clear extract flavoring. Stir until smooth and the icing has reached your desired consistency.
- For flooding and dipping, use a consistency that sticks well to your spoon and icing 'drops' off slowly.
- For a light glaze that is somewhat transparent, use a consistency that runs off slowly from your spoon but also leaves a good clear coating on the spoon.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Combine powdered sugar, two tablespoons milk, and corn syrup or honey, adding more milk until icing reaches desired consistency. For piping and spreading, you're looking for a thicker icing. For dipping cookies, you'll want something a little bit thinner.
- Pipe, spread, or dip onto baked cookies. If you'd like to use sprinkles, apply them before the icing dries.

Steps:
- Cookie: Combine the flour, soda and salt and toss together. Set aside. Cream the butter on high until pale yellow, scraping down the bowl frequently. Add the sugar and turn to medium speed. Beat for 2 minutes, until soft and almost white. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture and mix on low about 30 seconds. Form 2 separate pieces and wrap in waxed paper. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. When you're ready to roll the dough, sprinkle surface lightly with flour and sprinkle top of dough lightly as well. Roll out, add flour if you need it to keep it from sticking. Cut out shapes, place on parchment paper on cookie sheets. Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until barely brown on edges. Cool on rack. Icing: Mix all ingredients together. Stir until smooth. Glaze should be thick but soft enough to set.
SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE
This glaze will dry to a hard shiny finish. Perfect as a base coat for cookies. Can be colored too; use as much food coloring as needed to create desired hue. Dries quickly.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES
Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

PERFECT SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE
I needed an easy glaze the hardened quickly (instead of over night like so many) but one that still had good flavor. This dries hard enough to stack the cookies. Note: Make one batch at a time. It's unmanageable in anything larger. Children's water color brushes or those used for painting chocolate molds work well. Make sure to put down wax paper or parchment paper on your work surface and prepare for messy kidlets. Originally found at All Recipes

- Stir in food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach the color desired.

- Yield: 1/2 c glaze.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, such as unsalted butter, large eggs, and pure vanilla extract, for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough before rolling and baking to prevent it from spreading too much.
- Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out the cookies so that they have clean edges.
- Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time to prevent them from becoming overcooked or undercooked.
- Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them so that the glaze will set properly.
