Just finished cookies for my daughter’s class tomorrow. You weren’t wrong this is a fool proof recipe. It turned out perfect the first try and that never happens for me. The alligator cookies I made look great, this will be my go to recipe forever!

This was very helpful as this was my first time making icing and sugar cookies from scratch. Loved the tip for using a glass to get the icing into the bag! That definitely worked! The video presentation was easy to follow. The part about the consistency was also so helpful. My granddaughter had a great time helping! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Sam. - So, if I want to do lots of decorations on my cookies of different colors, I can still do it with this icing BUT, I will have to wait till each color sets? Is that right? For example, a Xmas tree ( Green ) with garland ( White ) over the Green & Xmax ornaments in 2 - 3 other colors. Thank you. ♥ EDIT: 12-10, I made some Gingerbread cookies following your recipe also & made that icing. It harden/dried pretty quickly, so it was easy to put all the colors in the end. I wish I could share a pic of them. they look pretty good for a first-timer.

My sugar cookie icing which I got from my mom just uses powdered sugar and milk. The consistency is the same and it spreads easily. I may consider adding vanilla after watching this.

@SugarSpunRun

Жыл бұрын

It adds a little extra flavor. I hope you like it! :)

Good tips, but I'd like to try this with extra creamy oat milk instead of milk, and I would use almond extract instead of vanilla. I use the almond extract in my whipped cream frosting that I frost my chocolate angel food cake, and it just really adds something special to an already quite special cake. (Some years ago, big-name cake mix makers had a chocolate angel food mix, but it the cake it made wasn't nearly as good as that which one makes on their own using a 2-stop angel food mix...which is getting harder to find these days, too...the major brands don't seem to make a 2-step mix anymore.)

This sounds perfect. I'm planning to make a gingerbread house and I don't want to use Royal icing. No one mentioned whether this icing will hold a house together, but I'm going to try!

They don't need to be refrigerated. The sugar stabilizes the milk here. They are good for about a week in an air tight container at room temperature. :)

Can I write words on the cookie with this icing as well or do you recommend doing something different? If so, what would you recommend for the writing part?

Did this last night, and it went great! Definitely go slowly when decorating if you are used to using royal icing on cookies. But so much easier than royal icing! Question: could lemon juice or other flavorful liquid be used in place of milk? Trying to cut the sweetness a little.

I did try it with fresh squeezed lemon juice AND added some lemon zest. It turned out delicious! The tart with the sweet icing and the sweet cookie was really special. Then I tried the same thing with lime, and then cranberry juice (no zest there, just 100% cranberry juice from Ocean Spray). These are all tart flavors so they came out great. I made lime-flavored Christmas trees (added some green), lemon-flavored snow men, and cranberry-flavored bells (added some red)!

I use a glaze recipe similar to this, only with water and no corn syrup. Ive used the recipe for a year plus, and just recently the cookies dry with huge "waves". I don't know what Is wrong, and usually I let them dry overnight but the last few times even that wasn't enough time to dry them! Any tips?

These cookies look good. I like that you use one cup of butter. One egg. I have piping gel can I use this instead of powdered sugar recipe?

You could use piping gel instead of the frosting if that's what you'd like to use. I'm not sure how it will set up or look as I'm not familiar with it.

Aloha! 2 questions, 1. Can the icing be made ahead and put it freezer, if so for how long? 2. How much cookies can you cover with one batch? Mahalo in advance!

Looks easy and tasty. Question, can the icing be frozen (on the cookie)? I would like to make some now, keep some out for hubby & myself, and freeze balance to be given for Xmas. Just make the icing once.
