Glace Icing - Shiny, Semi - Hard Icing for Cookies image

This recipe comes from the book Creative Cookies by Toba Garrett. It is a delicious icing that dries shiny and semi-hard. So you can easily stack your cookies but not break a tooth when you bite them.

Time 5m

Yield 40 iced cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb confectioners' sugar
3/8 cup milk
3/8 cup corn syrup
1 teaspoon extract, your choice

Steps:

  • In mixing bowl, thoroughly mix sugar and milk with a hand mixer. The icing should be very soft and have a heavy cream texture.
  • Add corn syrup and mix until just combined.
  • Divide icing into several bowls and color using concentrated pastes for the best results. Cover each bowl with plastic wrap until ready to use.
  • Note: The icing will last for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Put plastic wrap directly over the icing and seal the bowl with a tight fitting lid. When ready to use, stir the icing until it has a flow consistency. Can be made with water instead of milk. Without milk it will last for 3 weeks in the fridge. You do not need to refrigerate decorated cookies. I also guesstimated the yield.
