In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Set aside.

In another large mixing bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, cream the butter and powdered sugar together until creamy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and no pockets of flour are visible.

Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut cookies using your favorite Christmas-themed cookie cutters.

Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

In a medium mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add almond extract, milk, and corn syrup. Mix until smooth and silky.

Divide the icing into small bowls and add a drop of gel food coloring to each, mixing until you reach your desired shade.

Decorate cookies with the icing as desired, using a piping bag or a small spoon, and add festive sprinkles or edible glitter for extra holiday cheer.

Let the decorated cookies dry completely, preferably overnight, so the icing sets.
