Frosting

This frosting goes along with the sugar cookie recipe that I got from a friend in the ward. It's super yummy and sets up really well for decorating.

INGREDIENTS
1 package of cream cheese
2 lbs of powdered sugar
3/4 cup of corn syrup
1-2 teaspoons of almond extract ( or vanilla if you are worried aboutnut allergies)
dash of salt

Here are her instructions: These are the general guidelines I follow, but I make it most of the time by just looking/tasting. It makes a lot of frosting though--I think enough for about 2 batches of the cookie recipe.

TIP: To frost the cookies, put the frosting in one of those clear squeeze bottles with the clear top. You can find them for a $1 at Walmart. They are easier to handle than the bags, clean up much easier, and you get a much better result.
