Tips for Great Cookie Glazes
Here are some tips to help you create the perfect cookie glazes every time:
- If you want a more vibrant color, use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring. Gel food coloring gives you more vibrant colors and won't water down your glaze as much.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to your glaze, add a small amount of flavored extract. Almond, lemon, and orange extract all work well with this recipe.
- If you have leftover glaze, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just make sure to whisk it again before using it as the sugar may settle at the bottom.
- If you're having trouble getting your glaze to be smooth, microwave it for 5-10 seconds to help it become more fluid.
With these tips and tricks, you'll be creating beautiful and delicious cookies in no time!
