Frost with Maple Frosting.
Note: Instead of maple flavoring, you may use almond,
vanilla, etc.
Maple Frosting: Heat 1/2 cup butter until golden brown.
Blend in 2 cups confectioners sugar and 2 teaspoon maple syrup.
Stir in 2 to 4 tablespoons hot water until icing spreads
smoothly. If different flavoring is used in cookies, use the
same flavoring in the frosting. This frosting also colors well
with food coloring.
