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.

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!

I tried this recipe for sugar cookie glaze and I was not as impressed as the others. The glaze didn't stay put over the entire cookie. It kid of shrank back. I tried another recipe without the corn syrup and it was much better.

I have always made this recipe with milk, and I was thrilled with the results after using corn syrup instead. The color stayed nice and bright, and I love the hard shiny coating on top of soft, chewy sugar cookies.It also dried fairly quickly, so I was able to stack the cookies sooner--a big help when you make tons of cookies. This will definitely be my go-to cookie icing from now on. I just wish I was as artistic and creative as some of the other people on this site. There are some truly gorgeous pictures with this recipe. I end up just slathering or drizzling it on, but it tastes just as good!

I just tried this recipe for the first time and LOVED it. It's so much easier to use and finishes nicer than "icing". Be sure to double or triple the recipe though...this didn't make enough to cover an entire batch of sugar cookies.

Thank you! This is the glaze I have been forever searching for!!! It worked great and the suggestion to use kids paintbrushes was a perfect idea for my 5 year old. We had a great time decorating cookies this year and I was thrilled to finally have a glaze that actually hardened and tasted good!

This was a really nice, pretty glaze. I didn't stir it as I glazed my cookies, and it didn't dry mottled. I did, however, use a large artist's paintbrush to apply the glaze, and it went so fast I couldn't believe it. It took about ten minutes to dry completely, so allow time.

This glaze finally gave me the smooth look that I wanted for my sugar cookies. I might have made it a little thin as I had to recoat my cookies a few time to get a good covering. The only downside was that the glaze is a little lacking in taste. - I just made this glaze again and added some vanilla. It was definitely tastier this time!
