baking powder, and baking soda. Add to syrup mixture with

till lightly browned. Cool on cookie sheets for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and

with an electric mixer on medium to high speed about 30 seconds or till
softened. Gradually beat in 2 cups sifted powdered sugar. Beat in 2 tablespoons
milk and 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur till smooth. Gradually beat in
enough additional powdered sugar (about 1 1/4 cups) to make frosting of
