The Kitchen Table

Need A Recipe For Glaze

14 years ago

I need a foolproof recipe for glaze for anise cookies that can be colored using food coloring. The glaze also needs to be one that will dry and not be sticky, and runny, so that the cookies won't stick together when in a storage container. I know that one of you terrific KT cooks and bakers will have just what I'm looking for.

This recipe comes from the box of McCormick Anise extract:

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

2 Tbs. water

1/4 tsp anise extract

I made anise cookies last week. Last year when I made the glaze, it would thicken & dry before I got all the cookies frosted. So this year, I used 3 Tbsp. VERY hot water, and the glaze was good to go. It dries hard, and not sticky or runny (except at the beginnng).

You should be able to add coloring w/o any problem.

Whatever glaze you decide upon, if you want it to harden so the cookies are 'stackable', stir in a teaspoon or 2 of powdered egg whites (meringue powder or 'Just Whites') and your glaze will get completely dry and candy-like.

Wife uses recipe linked below but substitutes pineapple for the peaches so it is Pineapple-Orange Marmalade. Works great has a glaze for ham, chicken, pork chops, etc. and is just the right texture for brushing on. It is also a great center cake filling.

Lori, that cake does sound delicious, and other than the corn syrup and the sugar (which I can substitute Splenda for in the recipe), it would be perfect for our low-carb diet. Would anyone have any ideas as to what I could possibly substitute for the corn syrup? I'd really like to surprise my hubby with it (he loves his dessert).

I searched for salmon and this popped up. Sounds good. We are cooking salmon Saturday for a crowd. It's not a whole salmon, but several packs of filets. I think this will work great!
