I needed a quick and easy glaze for a last minute project my daughter had to do for a bake sale at school. This came to the rescue and turned out so well. Exceeded my expectations

I went looking for a recipe that could mimic poptart icing enough to please my picky three year old. He loves pop tarts but due to religious restrictions we cannot eat the frosted ones due to pork gelatin. The unfrosted ones look quite unappetizing to a toddler, so i bought them and told them we'd make them "blue icing!" And so today we did. I didn't see anywhere whether this could be stored or not, so I made 1/4 of the written recipe. It made too much for two poptarts but the bit that's left isn't so much that I'll lose sleep at night over throwing it away. I didn't even taste it myself, but he gobbled down two poptarts with great enthusiasm so it definitely served its purpose! Also adds a bit of homemade fun to an otherwise grab and go food. :)

Awesome glaze. Love the shiny, professional look it gave my less-than-perfect looking cookies. I subbed lemon juice for half of the water, and used waaaay less food coloring, as they were Easter cookies and my yellow was intense at just 5 drops. Like many others, I also used corn syrup that was already vanilla-flavored. They did take a long time to dry completely (several hours) but I also am in a high-humidity climate so that may have affected drying time.

I read all the hints and added zest and a tsp of juice to the recipe and frosted then piped over the cookie. It came out so great. I will use this again on more cookies.

A good & easy glaze. Perfect for when I want to make sugar cookies, but don't want all the time and effort that goes with royal icing. Doesn't make a huge batch, and the glaze is thin, so I recommend spooning over the cookies or dipping them in the glaze.

This recipe is very easy to work with. It sets up quickly, so if your adding other toppings, work with a few at a time for best outcome.. I will definately use this recipe again.

This icing is yummy! Easy to make and ice with. I used a ziplock bag, cut the corner off, outlined the cookie and then filled it in. Worked perfectly!

This glaze was a little thinner than I wanted for my cookies, but that was easily remedied with the addition of more sugar. I would also add some kind of flavoring next time, just so the taste isn't just 'sweet'. Hardens beautifully for perfectly stackable cookies!

Very nice glaze as it is written. Used colored gels and liquid colors very effectively. Just adjust water to consistency you want. Hardened up nicely after a while. I would make this again. Thanks!
