Christmas 2011 - Catching Up Post - Cookies

We made and baked sugar cookies and always have fun decorating - it does make a mess! I made homemade icing (with powdered meringue) which worked very well (hardened nicely) but did not taste good! I saw one recipe that called for some almond flavoring. What flavoring do you use in sugar cookie icing? I bought one tube of red icing just in case the homemade didn't work, but never again. It was too thick and too hard for AA to use.
We had fun and Santa enjoyed his snack!


I do wish this one was a little clearer:

Happy New Year's Eve!
