As I mentioned, when I started out with Glaze icing, I didn't love it. I was still bitter about not being able to use Royal for my cookies. I expected it to behave the same way Royal did. But it didn't. Not one bit. It ran off my cookies, it cracked when drying, it had tons of bubbles, the colors bled into each other, and it TOOK. FOREVER. TO. DRY. But most of all, I was bummed, because I wasn't able to get finer details with it, or write with it, without it looking like a hot mess, or make…

I needed an easy glaze the hardened quickly (instead of over night like so many) but one that still had good flavor. This dries hard enough to stack the cookies. Note: Make one batch at a time. It's unmanageable in anything larger. Children's water color brushes or those used for painting chocolate molds work well. Make sure to put down wax paper or parchment paper on your work surface and prepare for messy kidlets. Originally found at All Recipes

Egg wash glaze icing prepares cookies for painting, sometimes called Paintbrush Cookies. Painting directly on embossed sugar cookies, shortbreads, spritz cookies, and springerle can cause paints to soak in, spread, and fade. Use this recipe to paint on pie crusts too. This glaze will allow the paint to settle on top for a shiny and colorful finish. It adds a sweet coating as well. Perfect for making beautiful Christmas springerle.
