Ingredients
  

  • baked sugar cookies
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon corn syrup
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Put the sugar, corn syrup, and extract into a bowl. Add 1 Tablespoon of the water.
    Fine salt in a white bowl for baking, with baking ingredients on a speckled countertop.
  • Whisk until the mixture is smooth. You may need to add more water to get the right consistency. Add a few drops at a time. I know that sounds like an overkill, but it goes from close to being perfect to completely runny in just a few drops.

  • Dip your baked and cooled cookies into the glaze. Let the excess drip off.

  • Put the cookies on a rack. I like to line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and then add the rack to make the clean-up easier.
  • Add sprinkles and let them to dry until completely hard. I would give it a couple of hours.

  • Put on a plate with a glass of milk and leave them for Santa. Don't forget the reindeer food. Or...You could pack them up in a Christmas themed packaging and give them to your Secret Santa.
