VIDEO: How do I make a cookie icing?

Icing icing for the cookies

The easiest way is the sugar glaze, also called water glaze or icing. This glaze is dull and quite hard.

1. Heat that water.
2. Sieve the icing sugar and stir it with the water until a thick mass is formed.
3. Immediately coat the cookies with the glaze.

You can modify this basic recipe with additional flavors or ingredients, according to your taste. In the following, only a few possibilities are mentioned that can serve as a suggestion:

• Fruit juice glaze for the cookies: For this glaze, all you have to do is replace the water with fruit juice. If you use lemon juice, it is best to mix it with the water so that the glaze doesn't get too acidic.
• coffee for the cookie glaze: Replace the water with freshly brewed coffee and otherwise proceed as for the icing.
• A rum glaze for the cookies: For this glaze, mix 1-2 tbsp rum in the icing.
• Cocoa glaze for the cookies: Mix the powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa and some melted coconut fat in the water.

• Chocolate icing for the cookies: Make a frosting with it milk or water. Add 100g of melted cooking chocolate and 15g of butter or coconut fat.
• Egg white glaze for the cookies: For this variant you need 2 egg whites instead of the liquid. Sieve the powdered sugar and mix it with the egg white to a smooth mass.
• In order to let your Christmas cookies shine in new colors, you can also add food coloring to the glazes.

Happy Christmas baking and bon appetit!
