Chocolate glaze for cookies is a delicate decoration that gives desserts a rich flavor and smooth texture. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where it became an integral part of pastry art. The glaze has a velvety structure thanks to butter and milk, while dark chocolate adds a refined depth of flavor with a slight bitterness. Powdered sugar makes the glaze silky and gentle. It is perfect for coating cookies, cakes, and pastries, creating an appetizing shine and pleasant aftertaste. The use of glaze is versatile: it is used for decorating, joining layers of baked goods, and even adding special accents to desserts. This is a simple yet elegant way to turn homemade baking into a pastry masterpiece.
