Cookie Glaze
This simple yet effective cookie glaze is a favorite among bakers and cookie lovers alike. With just a few common ingredients, you’ll be able to whip up a glossy finish that will not only taste heavenly but also look stunning on your cookies.
Ingredients
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2-4 tablespoons milk (or water)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Stir the mixture together until it is smooth and well combined. If the glaze is too thick, gradually add more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Add the vanilla extract to the mixture and stir until incorporated. This will add a subtle hint of flavor that complements the glaze perfectly.
- If you wish to add some color to your glaze, this is the moment to incorporate food coloring. Just a few drops will add a fun touch to your cookies, especially for holidays or special occasions!
- Once you have combined all your ingredients, allow the glaze to sit for a few minutes. This will help to thicken it slightly, making it easier to spread over your cookies.
- Dip the tops of your cooled cookies into the glaze, or use a knife to spread the glaze over the cookies. Let the cookies sit for about 30 minutes to allow the glaze to set before serving.
Now that you have your delicious cookie glaze ready, you can apply it on sugar cookies, gingerbread, or any cookie of your choice. The beautiful glossy finish will definitely impress your family and friends. Enjoy your baking and happy decorating!
