Icing Glaze for Sugar Cookies
This icing makes a nice glaze for sugar cookies! Use food coloring, make tons of colors and get your creative juices flowing!
1 box (or a pound) of confectioner’s sugar
3 tablespoons powdered egg whites (found in the baking aisle of the supermarket)
6-7 tablespoons warm water
Food coloring
Several small pudding dishes or paper bowls
In a large bowl, using an electric blender, mix together the sugar, egg whites and the water. Beat for about 6 minutes until mix becomes slightly thickened, and less watery than the start.
Place a bit of the icing in each bowl and mix in food coloring to make the desired colors for the cookies you are frosting. (Note: the more colors you mix up the more creative you will get!)
Spread a super-thin layer of the “base” color (i.e. a snow mans based color would be white) on each cookie using a small spoon or rubber spatula. Let dry completely before adding on other complimentary colors (i.e. carrot orange nose, charcoal colored buttons, red scarf) with a thin tool, such as a tine of a fork. Let dry completely before stacking the cookies on top of each other.
Frosts about 2 dozen cookies.
