These Valentines cookies are so pretty and they don't use artificial coloring, so many people are

Heather - try this recipe with the cranberry concentrate for coloring,

I have used this recipe many times, I like how it gets firm but not hard like Royal Icing. I always add more cream/evaporated milk to make this thinner so it spreads and is not too thick on the cookies, so I think the concentrate would be the same effect.

This is the best cookie icing I have ever used and it hardens nicely for bagging but is not rock hard like royal icing. You will love it. Sugar Baby Frosting from: www.wildwestcookies.com

1 32 oz. pkg. confectioners sugar, sifted
1/3 cup evaporated skimmed milk
1/3 cup white corn syrup
1 teaspoon pure vanilla
1/3 cup water, boiling

Combine milk, syrup and vanilla in a saucepan over heat and add boiling water. Blend together with electric mixer. Add confectioners sugar and continue mixing until smooth. The frosting consistency is similar to a glaze. Color with powdered food coloring for decorating cookies.

You may purchase the powdered food coloring at cake decorating specialty stores, Walmart cake decorating department, or Hobby Lobby cake decorating department.
