Instructions
To Make the Cookie Glazes:
- For each recipe, add all of the ingredients and mix well. It will be thick at first, but keep mixing until well combined before adding any additional milk as that could make it too thin. If once mixed, it's still very thick, add in another teaspoon to tablespoon of milk. You want the glaze a thicker consistency though, so that it doesn't run off of the cookies.Add glaze to the cookies, once they're completely cooled.
