Spring-ish Cookies

Nathan and I made sugar cookies yesterday. I was going to make them Easter cookies, but the only spring-ish cookie cutters I had were a carrot and an umbrella, so we used them. We also used the train one, of course! Nathan really LOVED putting the icing on. I had always wondered how people got icing to be shiny when it dried. Now I know! Here's the recipe for the icing: Icing 1 cup confectioner's sugar 2 teaspoons milk 2 teaspoons light corn syrup 1/4 teaspoon almond extract assorted food coloring
