Categories     Christmas Cookies     Icing

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c confectioners sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp light corn syrup
1 1/2 Tbsp milk or cold water ((more or less, as needed to reach desired consistency))
1/2 tsp almond extract ((or your desired clear extract flavoring))
gel food coloring ((optional, desired colors))

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, sift confectioners sugar and then combine with light corn syrup, milk or water, and clear extract flavoring. Stir until smooth and the icing has reached your desired consistency.
  • For flooding and dipping, use a consistency that sticks well to your spoon and icing 'drops' off slowly.
  • For a light glaze that is somewhat transparent, use a consistency that runs off slowly from your spoon but also leaves a good clear coating on the spoon.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

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.

THE BEST ROLLED SUGAR COOKIES

Whenever you make these cookies for someone, be sure to bring along several copies of the recipe! You will be asked for it, I promise! NOTE: I make icing with confectioners' sugar and milk. I make it fairly thin, as I 'paint' the icing on the cookies with a pastry brush. Thin enough to spread easily but not so thin that it just makes your cookies wet and runs off.

PERFECT SUGAR COOKIE GLAZE



Perfect Sugar Cookie Glaze image

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

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water or 2 tablespoons milk
food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Stir sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and the milk together.
  • Stir in food coloring a few drops at a time until you reach the color desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, such as unsalted butter, large eggs, and pure vanilla extract, for the best flavor.
  • Chill the dough before rolling and baking to prevent it from spreading too much.
  • Use a sharp knife or cookie cutter to cut out the cookies so that they have clean edges.
  • Bake the cookies at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time to prevent them from becoming overcooked or undercooked.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before glazing them so that the glaze will set properly.
  • Use a variety of sprinkles, nonpareils, or other decorations to make your cookies festive.
