So yummy! My new favorite decorators icing.

OK - What did I do wrong? I followed the recipe, but the glaze is not drying! It stays gooey, and wet. Tasty, yes. But wet. Any suggestions?

This glaze was perfect for all my cookies. It coats nicely and dries quickly. To change the flavor of different glazes, I added various extracts to different batches. Thanks!

Perfect! Thank you!!!

I loved this glaze, it was perfect for the type of cookie decoration i was looking for, smooth finish. Awesome!

This was perfect! I added lemon flavoring, and my family loved it!

Turned out perfect! Loved the color.

The very best glaze I have worked with. The kids and I have made Christmas and Easter cookies now with this recipe and have created some beautiful designs - even for 3 and 5 year olds! I usually dip the cookies first, let them dry overnight, and then decorate with the kids the following day. I always double the recipe, too, so that we have plenty of color choices - and buy paintbrushes just for this use and keep them with my food coloring. TERRIFIC!!!!

I loved this recipe!! I had quite a few cookies to cover so I made a single batch in my mixer and saw it wasn't much so I added more ingredients to make a second batch. It was a bit thin so with two batches in the mixer I added about an extra cup of the powdered sugar. I also used a little bit of clear vanilla extract to give it a bit more flavor without adding color. I wanted to make a couple different colors so I divided it up into smaller bowls and used my gel colors so as not to add liquid to the glaze. The thicker glaze dried fairly quickly and tasted great on my sugar cookies.

Wow!! I found this recipe in the nick of time. Made sugar cookies to take to the inlaws for Easter and had no idea how to "dress them up". I whipped up this recipe-added 1/4 tsp raspberry flavored coffee syrup since I had no food coloring--dashed on some pastel colored sprinkles..TA DA-PERFECT EASTER COOKIES!! I used skim milk instead of water and the raspberry glaze gave them just a touch of flavor. I got raves all around and endless requests for the recipe! A real keeper!

This glaze is so easy! I made some for an church activity with a bunch of kids all different ages to decorate cookies (Michelle's soft sugar cookies from this site) and it was great! Even my 3 yr old was able to brush on the glaze, it was a great activity. The glaze did harden but it took quite a while longer than I anticipated, almost 2 hours, still a great idea, though.

I really liked this recipe. The cookies were easy to frost and looked beautiful with this glaze.

worked like a charm

This made perfect cookies. It didn't crack, it held the color wonderfully, and it came out delicious.

AWESOME GLAZE RECIPE. I ADDED A BIT MORE SUGAR TO THICK GLAZE A LITTLE MORE. OTHER THAN THAT THIS IS A GREAT GLAZE RECIPE. THANKS FOR SHARING IT.

This was such a simple, delicious icing recipe! I used it to decorate heart shaped cookies for Valentine's Day. I made a ton of different colors, which was a lot of fun. My advice... let them set overnight before trying to stack them. Some appeared to have hardened, but just the top layer had done so and I messed a few up. Everyone at work loved these cookies!
