COOKIE GLAZES AND 'PAINTS' (10/5/05)
SUGAR GLAZE:
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons warm water
Sift confectioner's sugar into a small bowl. Sprinkle the water and vanilla over sugar and stir until smooth. If too stiff, add warm water drop-by-drop until smooth. Brush on cookies immediately, as it hardens quickly.
COOKIE PAINTS:
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
drops of food coloring
Use one recipe for each color. In a small bowl, stir the food coloring into the milk. Paint onto cookies with a paintbrush before baking. (Makes 1 dozen cookies worth).
EGG YOLK TEMPRA COOKIE PAINT (for a shiny gloss finish on most cookies)
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
5 drops food coloring
Mix egg yolk and water. Divide into dishes for as many colors as you want to make. Add food coloring to get the shade desired.
Paint on unbaked cookies and bake a you normally would. Cookies should come out with a shiny color finish.
