Here's a great way to give cookies a shiny chocolate coating. Plus, extra glaze can be reheated and drizzled over ice cream, chocolate cake, cream puffs - wherever a chocolate sauce or glaze is needed. This glaze is great for cookies you'll serve within a couple of days; not as good for cookies you'll ship, because the glaze will start to look spotty after about 48 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 2

7 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
6 tablespoons simmering (almost-boiling) water

Steps:

  • Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, and divide it evenly between two bowls.
  • Pour the simmering water into one, and whisk until smooth. Add this water/chocolate mix to the other bowl in thirds, whisking after each addition.
  • Allow the glaze temperature to cool to 90°F, then dip or spread on cookies. Glaze will harden overnight.
  • If the glaze becomes too thick, reheat it gently and resume dipping.
  • The proportion of water to chocolate varies with the chocolate, so if you use something other than Merckens, you might need a little more or a little less water. Glaze is the correct consistency when it's smooth, thick, and glossy.
  • Yield: 1 1/2 cups glaze.
