Cookie Glaze

1. In a small bowl, mix by hand the sugar, milk and extract.

2. Continue stirring until smooth.

3. Mix in the corn syrup. You want glaze to be smooth and shiny so you can add a small amount of additional corn syrup if mixture is too thick.

4. If glazing in different colors, separate the mixture into smaller bowls. Add food color or gel until evenly distributed and glaze is desired color and smoothness.

5. To glaze cookies, place cookies on waxed paper. You can spoon icing onto cookies using small measuring spoon (i.e. half-teaspoon or smaller) or using a small food-safe paintbrush or pipe icing using decorating bag. I use a baggie with a decorating tip attached.

Notes:
– Let glaze completely dry after putting it on the cookies and before stacking or placing cookies in an airtight container. I put glazed cookies in fridge to accelerate hardening.
– Use glaze soon after mixing. Do not store unused glaze in refrigerator or it will harden.
