I love all the beautiful sugar cookies I’ve been seeing online lately and when I stumbled upon Our Best Bites Glacé Icing recipe I immediately wanted to try it. I’m not a fan of royal icing nor buttercream, so an icing that is “super forgiving, easy to use, and it actually tastes good” sounded like a must try.
I was lucky enough to have my sweet foodie friends, Becky, Vintage Mixer, and Tiffany, Food Finery and her beautiful daughters, join me in the kitchen to try our hand at this fun new icing technique.
I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe. It puffs up a bit more than other sugar cookie recipes I’ve tried, but it’s tender and delicious and I’ve yet to find one I like better.

The do look pretty. I actually love a buttercream frosting but it would never allow for making cookies look like this. Wishing I had a little kid or two that would go crazy over these; I need an excuse to make them!

I’ve tried their glace icing and wasn’t wowed by the taste. Perhaps my powdered sugar was old? I don’t know, but it sure does make for pretty looking cookies…and yours are!

These are soooo pretty and well decorated!
Happy Easter!
Cheers,

I too used the glace icing awhile ago and absolutely loved the ease of it. The cookies came out looking fantastic! So much better than that nasty Royal Icing that hates me! 🙂
