PERFECT SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE

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

Provided by WaffleCrumbs

Number Of Ingredients 14

COOKIE:
1 cup butter, softened
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
ICING:
2 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 to 2 tablespoons milk, plus 1 teaspoon milk
Food coloring
Dash vanilla

Steps:

  • Cookie: Combine the flour, soda and salt and toss together. Set aside. Cream the butter on high until pale yellow, scraping down the bowl frequently. Add the sugar and turn to medium speed. Beat for 2 minutes, until soft and almost white. Add the eggs and vanilla, beat about 30 seconds. Add the flour mixture and mix on low about 30 seconds. Form 2 separate pieces and wrap in waxed paper. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. When you're ready to roll the dough, sprinkle surface lightly with flour and sprinkle top of dough lightly as well. Roll out, add flour if you need it to keep it from sticking. Cut out shapes, place on parchment paper on cookie sheets. Bake at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes or until barely brown on edges. Cool on rack. Icing: Mix all ingredients together. Stir until smooth. Glaze should be thick but soft enough to set.

SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE

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.

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!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. This will ensure that your glaze is flavorful and has a smooth consistency.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily.
  • Don't overbeat the glaze. Overbeating can cause the glaze to become grainy.
  • Add the milk or cream one tablespoon at a time. This will help you achieve the desired consistency.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner glaze, add more milk or cream.
  • Use the glaze immediately after making it. Glaze can thicken as it sits, so it's best to use it right away.
  • If you need to store the glaze, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Sugar cookie glaze is a versatile and easy-to-make topping that can add a touch of sweetness and flavor to your favorite cookies. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a glaze that is smooth, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. So next time you're baking a batch of sugar cookies, be sure to try one of these delicious glaze recipes.
