PERFECT SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE



Perfect Sugar Cookie Glaze image

I needed an easy glaze the hardened quickly (instead of over night like so many) but one that still had good flavor. This dries hard enough to stack the cookies. Note: Make one batch at a time. It's unmanageable in anything larger. Children's water color brushes or those used for painting chocolate molds work well. Make sure to put down wax paper or parchment paper on your work surface and prepare for messy kidlets. Originally found at All Recipes

1/4 cup water
3/4 cup 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



Sugar Cookie Glaze image

This glaze dries hard which makes it great for taking along or showcasing in a pretty glass cookie jar. I make sugar cookies iced with this glaze for every event I can think of, from Christmas to the 4th of July. Once you try it you'll love it.

Provided by Bridget Rucki

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp light corn syrup
2 Tbsp water

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)



Meringue Powder Buttercream Cookie Frosting/Glaze Recipe - (4.2/5) image

Provided by ayannaadjua

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/3 cup water
3 T. meringue powder
1/2 cup shortening
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar (1 lb. 3 oz. If you have a scale)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (use clear vanilla if you want a pure white icing)
1/4 tsp. almond extract

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

Tips:

  • Use a variety of glazes: Experiment with various glazes to discover the one that best complements your cookies. Common glaze ingredients include powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup, and extracts.
  • Adjust the glaze consistency: The glaze should be thick enough to coat the cookies without being runny. If the glaze is too thick, add a little milk or water. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar.
  • Color the glaze: You can add food coloring to the glaze to create a variety of colors. Experiment with different colors to create festive or seasonal cookies.
  • Decorate the cookies: After the glaze has set, you can decorate the cookies with sprinkles, nonpareils, or other edible decorations.
  • Let the glaze dry completely: Allow the glaze to dry completely before storing or serving the cookies. This will help prevent the glaze from smudging or running.

Conclusion:

Cookie glaze is a delicious and easy way to add a special touch to your cookies. With so many different glaze recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you and your family will love. So next time you're baking cookies, don't forget to add a glaze!
