3. Keep stirring until an even dough forms. Let stand 5 minutes.

 
4. Use your hands to roll dough into 24 balls. Place on a baking sheet.

 
5. Use a fork to press down into the cookies to flatten, at the same time making ridges to hold the icing.

 
6. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. Allow to cool on sheet a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

7. In a bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of milk and powdered sugar. If you'd like your icing thicker, add more powdered sugar. Add a dash of salt and whisk. This really brings out all the flavours.

 
8. Drizzle icing over cooled cookies and let stand to harden a bit.

 
9. Another variation of this (which is my personal preference in our family) is to bake the cookies 2 minutes longer, shut off the heat, then let them hang in the oven for a few minutes. This makes for super crisp sugar cookies. No icing for me! :)
