Icing recipe cuts Christmas!?

I want to cut sugar cookies for Christmas. I used frosting regular bathtub last year to draw on the cookies, but that does not harden quickly and they got all smudged. Any suggestions on what I could buy or homemade recipe for some icing that will harden faster, but still tasteful.
