Sugar Cookies and Icing

1 cup sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
4 to 5 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder

In mixing bowl, cream together sugar, shortening, milk, and eggs.
Then add in flour and baking powder (mixture will be stiff, so use your
hands to mix).
Roll out dough and cut out in shapes desired.
Bake at 400 for 13-15 minutes.

Icing

1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
food coloring

Stir the powdered sugar and the milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and
vanilla until icing is smooth and glossy. If it's too thick, add more corn
syrup. Divide icing into separate bowls and stir in food coloring as
desired. You can dip the cookies, paint them with a paint brush or spread
them using a knife or the back of a spoon.
