Answers: That is a hard finish icing, you add the decorations while it is still soft. You ice when the cookies are cooled.
Here is a great recipe. Follow the link for photos

DIRECTIONS
In a small bowl, stir together confectioners' sugar and milk until smooth. Beat in corn syrup and almond extract until icing is smooth and glossy. If icing is too thick, add more corn syrup.
Divide into separate bowls, and add food colorings to each to desired intensity. Dip cookies, or paint them with a brush Source(s):

luv zo zo DECORATIVE ICINGS FOR SUGAR COOKIES
Easy and Quick Icing: Put a few spoonfuls on store bought vanilla frosting in a custard cup. Microwave on HIGH for 15 to 20 seconds or until runny. Spread on baked cookies. Let youngsters shake candy sprinkles on top or add a few drops of food colorings to microwaved frosting to make various pastel icings.
Egg Yolk Paint: Blend well 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon water. Divide among several small custard cups. Add different food colorings to each to make bright colors. Paint designs with small paint bushes or use Q-tips on unbaked cookies. Bake as recipe directs. If paint thickens on standing, add a few drops of water.
Use you imagination - be creative! Kids love to personalize their own cookies. It also makes a great party activity. Guest decorate and eat their own treats. First, you'll need some Wilton brand colors...they are available at most Hobby Lobby stores.
You'll need to spread the icing on with a spatula, then decorate with decorating tubes/tips (also a wilton product).
Basic icing involves mixing powdered sugar with a small amount of butter, then adding hot water, teaspoon by teaspoon, until it gets to the consistency you like. I prefer almond extract for my cookie icing, but most people use vanilla.
Divide the white icing into several portions, then color each portion. To get the colors you want, Wilton brand is the way to go.
