      Title: Chile Icing
 Categories: Five, Cookies, Desserts, Chilies
      Yield: 24 Servings

      2 c  Powdered sugar
      4 ts Milk or half & half
      4 ts Light Karo corn syrup
    1/4 ts Almond extract
      1 tb (level) ground chile
           Food colouring (opt)

  In a bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk
  until smooth. Beat in corn syrup, almond extract and
  ground chile * until icing is smooth and glossy. If
  icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.

  * use ground Anaheim/NuMex chilies for green icing and
  ground cayenne/tabasco/bird chilies for red icing. DO
  NOT overload with chile - you want the icing to be
  noticably "chile" but not light anyone up.

  Add food colouring to desired shade if beeded. Spread
  over cookies, or paint on with a brush.

  As an option make some icing without ground chile or 
  food colouring to pipe designs onto the green or red
  icing. Be creative.
  
  Sprinkling red or green sugar crystals on the cookies
  after icing them is also a nice optional touch.
