Confectioners Sugar Glaze

Confectioners Sugar Glaze is for those times when you just want to add a touch of sweetness with a thin layer of sugar glaze over simple cookies, cupcakes or cake. I most often use it with my Orange/Lemon Crisps and Poppyseed Cake. If you want a purely white look, just mix the sugar and water together. If you want the taste of Vanilla; but still want the glaze white, use artificially flavored baking Vanilla. Orange juice will give it a pale orange tinge and lemon juice a pale yellow one. To keep it natural, a touch of beet juice will make it pink. Food coloring can turn the glaze any color you want.

Whether you apply the Confectioners Sugar Glaze with a brush or dip the cookies or cupcakes into a bowl of it, this is an easy and quick way to add a little extra to your baking.

Prep time: one minute

Note: This recipe allows you to glaze about 30 small cookies.
