How to make easy sugar cookie icing

 

If you are thinking about how you can lower the cost of your decorated cookies or an alternate way to decorate your cookies this post might help you. 

One of the more expensive ingredients in the decorated cookies is the meringue powder and if you like to have a very nice looking cookie you might need to invest in a good quality meringue powder, and this will increase the cost of your cookies. 

You can also make the royal icing using egg whites, but as you may know, we used raw egg whites and this can lead to some food contamination if not handle appropriately. 

This glaze recipe is very easy to do and the cookies look really nice, the flavor is similar to the royal icing, give it a try and see what you costumers think about this thin glazed cookies. 

For this glaze recipe you will need :

1. One cup + 6 tsp of powdered sugar
2. One tbsp of light corn syrup
3. 3 tbsp + 1tsp milk
4. Few drops of clear vanilla extract or any citric juice

In this video I doubled this recipe: 

PROCECURE:

Sift your powdered sugar at least one time.

 Add the corn syrup and mix using a whisker

Add the milk, little by little until you get the desire consistency also using the whisker. 

You can add food coloring if you want and make a test covering a cookie with the glaze and see if it runny enough to slide on the cookie without being lumpy or to runny.

You can use regular royal icing if you want to add some decorations and also you can use edible markers once the icing is completely dry.
