SIMPLE COOKIE GLAZE

Steps:

• Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan with a whisk.
• Bring to a boil and boil until the sugar dissolves and the syrup turns clear.
• Make this glaze before you begin making cookies, and allow it to cool to slightly above room temperature while you make and bake your cookies. When the cookies and the syrup are cool, brush each cookie with a very thin coat of glaze and sprinkle on decorations or large-crystal sugar.
• Allow glaze to dry for at least an hour before stacking cookies. Thin glaze will dry faster than a thick coat of glaze.

SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE

Steps:

• 1. Stir ingredients together with a fork until smooth, adding water a little at a time. You made need more, you made need less. Less water makes a thicker glaze.
• 2. It starts out as a white glaze but can be easily altered with any food coloring. I prefer using paste food colorings as not to thin the glaze. In the photo I added a few dots of color on a white iced cookie and swirled it with a toothpick. It drags easily.
• 3. So much fun to work with, the possibilities are endless!

MERINGUE POWDER BUTTERCREAM COOKIE FROSTING/GLAZE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• *FROSTING:* Place half of the powdered sugar and the meringue powder in the bowl of an electric mixer. Whisk together well. Turn on mixer (use whip attachment) and, while motor is running, slowly stream in the water. Mix until everything is incorporated. Turn mixer to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form. Add flavorings and mix well. Change to paddle attachment (for stand mixer) or dough hook (for Bosch). If using a hand mixer, use the same beaters you were using before. Add remaining powdered sugar and shortening and whip for 2-3 minutes more. Note: Don't skimp on the whipping time after adding the shortening. You really need to whip it well to prevent separation later. *GLAZE:* Frosting Prep: Making Glaze Glazing is a technique that creates that super-smooth look you see on fancy cookies. Basically, "glaze" is just watered down frosting. Here is a basic how-to for making the glaze. 1. After you have colored all of your frosting, get a small container for each glaze color you will need (clean butter tubs and yogurt containers work great for this and you can throw them away when you are done!). 2. Put the desired colors of frosting in the containers by either mixing the color right in the container or squeezing it from a decorating bag. 3. Add water to the container(s) a few drops at a time, stirring after each addition. A basic rule of thumb for a good consistency is that a drop of the icing should disappear into the mass on the count of 6 or 7. It will be similar in consistency to Elmer's glue: fairly runny, but not so thin that it's hard to control. 4. Keep glaze colors covered while not in use. If your containers do not have lids, I recommend covering them with saran wrap and then a damp towel. 5. The glaze will separate as it sits, so you will need to stir the glaze well before and during use

WARM CAKE/COOKIE GLAZE-ANNETTE'S

Steps:

• The consistency of this glaze can be altered depending on the thickness you are seeking. Simply add more or less powdered sugar and milk/juice to reach the consistency you want. My original recipe creates a glaze that drizzles very nicely with a medium thickness.
• Combine the milk or heavy cream and vanilla or almond extract in a medium saucepan and heat over low heat until warm. **This is where you would add the juice if using**
• Sift powder sugar into milk mixture. Whisk slowly, until well combined, adding the nutmeg or cinnamon when the glaze is almost ready. **This is when you would add the zest if using**
• Drizzle the glaze over the warm cake and allow to cool slightly before serving.
• **If you're wanting to make a citrus flavored glaze, replace the milk with the juice of whatever fruit you are using as well as adding the zest of the same fruit.**
