ICING

  1. Over low heat.... In a small pot, mix milk (about an espresso cup size) with confectionary sugar until it become pasty (but not too thick--enough to brush on each cookie without it getting too clumpy).  With a small baking brush, brush each cookie and shake little confectionary balls (colorful ones) on each cookie.
