Painting cookies with sugar icing for baking is a new trend in our area. In confectionery circles, it is called "icing". This amazing art of decorating desserts came to us from the West and settled down so firmly that decorating shortbread or biscuit pastries with colored cookie icing has become a fashionable confectionery trend.

Today I will teach you a simple and quick way to prepare a simple, but very plastic and pliable protein coating. By preparing a quick-drying icing for cookies according to my recipe, you will get a high-quality and pleasant product that you can easily decorate any confectionery.

Kitchenware: bowl for mixing glaze, strainer, mixer, wooden or silicone spatula.

Ingredients

How to choose ingredients

• White icing for cookies is obtained from high-quality powdered sugar, so pay special attention to the choice of this product. Ideally, you would grind the sugar yourself, but to save time, you can use ready-made powder from the store. High-quality powdered sugar should have a uniform consistency without inclusions and lumps. and also have good flowability. A good product has a pleasant sugary smell with hints of caramel and high sweetness. If the powder is not sweet enough, then potato starch was added to it.

• If you decide to prepare the powder yourself, then at home it is convenient to do this on a coffee grinder. A good coffee grinder with sharp blades can easily grind granulated sugar, but any homemade powder is better to sift through a strainer to prevent inclusions of unground sugar grains into it.
• Eggs for icing choose with great care, because raw protein is used in its preparation. Poor-quality and stale eggs contain pathogenic bacteria that lead to poisoning. Therefore, buy only clean eggs, with an even whole shell and pay attention to the shelf life of the product.

Cookie frosting video recipe

In this beautifully detailed video tutorial, you will learn how to make cookie icing to the right consistency, as well as see how to color it.

• Glucose syrup can be added to soften a coating that is too brittle. This will not affect the density, but will make the mass more plastic.

• Glaze is painted exclusively with gel dyes. Gel dyes are easy to store, have high pigmentation and color the product uniformly. Divide the finished icing into several servings, paint in different colors and use to decorate holiday desserts, for example. A white coating without dyes will perfectly decorate and complement the taste.

• If you mix powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of cocoa, you get a wonderful chocolate icing for cookies. This type of coating is ideal for decoration. Also, chocolate icing will complement favorably.

• This sweet product is best prepared in the amount needed to decorate the required amount of cookies, and not to prepare it for future use. If you have a lot of icing left, then store it in a tightly closed container for no more than 3 days.. Before you decorate new cookies with icing, be sure to check the sugar mass for the absence of clots of crystallized sugar.

Mix everything again, forming dough crumbs - this is how it should be.

Knead it with your hands, forming a dense bun. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, or overnight.

Lightly sprinkling flour on the work surface, roll out part of the dough, since it is very plastic and obedient, cut figures out of it by cutting. At this time, preheat the oven to 180C.

Transfer them to parchment paper laid on a baking sheet.

Place the baking sheet with the blanks in the oven and bake the dessert for 7-10 minutes, without bringing it to a strong ruddy! Better to underbake than overbake! Let the cookies cool at room temperature for 1 hour.

At this time, form the glaze yourself: break the egg into a bowl, separating the yolk from the protein - you only need the protein. Stir in a couple of pinches or a couple of drops of green dye and all the powdered sugar, but in parts. Do not beat, namely mix in the powder, it will take a lot. Do not add lemon juice or water! Put the finished glaze in a culinary bag and cut off the thin tip from it. Moving diagonally, decorate your cooled blanks with green icing.

The edges of the blanks, until the glaze is dry, quickly decorate with bright beads (confectionery decor). Involve the kids in this activity - they will be happy to help you!

Sugar cookie and frosting ingredients

Sugar cookie:

3 cups (390 grams) wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon soda

1 cup (227 grams) butter, room temperature

1 cup (200 grams) sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (liquid vanilla)

Glaze:

2 large (60 grams) egg whites

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

3 cups (330 grams) powdered sugar

Preparing sugar cookies and frosting

Sugar cookie:

In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and soda.

Beat butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Continuing to beat, add the eggs and vanilla. Whisk until all ingredients are well mixed.

Add the flour mixture to the resulting mass and knead a smooth elastic dough.

Divide the dough in half and wrap each half in plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about one hour so that it rolls out well enough and takes the desired shape.

Preheat the oven to (180 degrees C) and place a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the center of the oven.

Remove one half of the chilled dough from the refrigerator and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1 cm. Make sure the dough does not stick to the table by turning it slightly.

Assistant:)

Using a lightly floured cookie cutter, cut out cookie dough of the desired shape, and then carefully transfer the cookies to the baking sheet.

There are many forms of such cookies. Personally, we made a family of deer, Christmas trees, circles, a skate, a bear, stars, bells, squares.

Place the baking sheet with the raw cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill the dough. This is necessary so that the cookies do not lose their shape during baking.

Bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes (depending on size) or until the edges just start to brown.

Then take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool.

Makes about 36 cookies per serving. We got this much from 2 servings of dough.

Egg White Frosting:

Whisk egg whites with lemon juice in a mixer. Then add sugar and beat at low speed until smooth. Add more sugar or water until desired consistency is reached. Add food coloring if needed. Glaze should be used immediately or stored in an airtight container as it hardens quickly when exposed to air.

After the cookies have cooled, we proceed to dye them with icing.. There are many options here too. Here's what we got:

Cookies can be frozen with frosting if needed. Make sure the frosting is completely dry before storing or packing (this may take several hours or overnight).

Store cookies between layers of parchment or wax paper.
