Like other reviewers said, this glaze needs a bit of a flavor boost. I added several drops of almond extract, and it tastes wonderful! You can make it thicker by adding extra powdered sugar or thinner by adding water, so it's a very easy glaze to work with!

The glaze was very runny so it was hard to color without the colors running together. It does harden up nicely though and has a good flavor.

This is a wonderful glaze! I used it on a pumpkin cookie, just dipped the tops into a bowl of the glaze, and they turned out perfectly.

Way too runny for me. I had a thicker cookie and it just soaked right into it. I don't know.. maybe I should have added more powdered sugar!

This glaze tastes and looks great. It was a little difficult for my 3 year old to use himself, so I spread it on the cookies with a spoon, while he and my 2 year old daughter covered them with sprinkles. The 10 drops of food coloring makes really dark shades, so lighten up on the drops if you're looking for pastels.

I used light cream instead of water. This was the perfect finish for sugar cookies.

This tastes perfect on the Pope Sugar Cookies recipe. You will probably want to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up. It dries hard, but takes at least an hour or more to do so. Works best painted on the cookie, otherwise it runs a lot. This recipe does exactly what I wanted it to do and tastes great.

Good stuff! I doubled the recipe because I didn't think ½ cup of glaze would be enough for the 25 or 30 Valentine's-themed gingerbread cookies I was making.. That was a mistake! I have loads of glaze in the fridge. I'll just have to make more cookies. :) I added maybe ½ tsp or so of almond flavoring so that it wouldn't just be the powdered sugar taste, and it turned out really nice. The icing colors did mottle on the cookies but they're going to be consumed by a two-year old, so who cares? :) Thanks for a great recipe.

Great "hard" glaze. We used it on gingerbread men and it worked wonderfully. I will use less liquid next time, though, because my glaze ran over the sides of the cookies and wouldn't keep its designs.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for, and the recipe did exactly what it said. It dried quickly and stayed put on the cookies.

I prefer a sweetly flavored glaze and this is not it. It tasted purely of powdered sugar (go figure!). I can see how it would be a good glaze for children though. As it dried it became hard and crunchy. I rated it at 3 stars because it is what the recipe claims, fast and hard drying. It just did not appeal to my tastes.

Very Good. I make this every Christmas for my daughter's cookie party. I double, triple and even quadruple the recipe so that I can divide it and add food colorings. If it hardens, just stir it up again.

Perfect texture, high shine and color that adjusts easily with food coloring. Used this to let 4 year olds paint sugar cookies with paintbrushes. They loved it! Stays moist long enough to add sprinkles but dries quickly enough to pack up when it's time to split up the cookies painted and go home. Great taste and texture, not crumbly or crackly. Adheres to cookie just right. I've used lots of glazes, this is THE ONE.

I would like to thank "LORIHANKE" for his/her most helpful input. I substituted the corn syrup (unavailable in Israel), for 10-15grams of butter flavored margarine. I also substituted one tablespoon of water, for one tablespoon of lemon juice. The result had a great paste consistency, which I colored all different colors. I used it for a 10 year-old girls-only birthday party, and had each girl decorate her own personal cake (I was lazy and used a Pillsbury mix for vanilla cake). It was a huge success!!!

I've always used the egg whites with confectioners sugar to make glaze but I have a severe egg allergy that seems to get worse all the time. This is an EXCELLENT glaze recipe that sets up just the same as the glaze using egg whites and it tastes wonderful! Great allergy alternative!
