Icing - glaze for drawing on cookies
1 serving
20 minutes
Icing can be used to draw dots, lines, or to completely fill the entire surface of the cookie. To prepare the mass for filling, add a few drops of water to the icing and stir. If the icing is still thick, add more water and so on until the desired consistency is achieved - it should be liquid enough to spread over the surface of the cookie. To fill, first draw a line along the perimeter of the future filling with thick icing, and then fill the inner space with liquid icing.

To make icing, we only need two main ingredients — egg white and powdered sugar. One egg yields a considerable amount of icing, enough for a good kilogram of cookies.
- Egg white: 1 piece
- Powdered sugar: 150 g
2
We wash the egg thoroughly with soap. We carefully separate the egg white from the yolk. We beat the egg white with a mixer on low speed, with a whisk, or with a fork. Our goal is not to whip the egg white into a foam. It should just become a homogeneous liquid mass.
- Egg white: 1 piece

When the egg whites become uniform, add the sifted powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
- Powdered sugar: 150 g

Now we add lemon juice, which will make the icing shine and shimmer in the light, and mix. The icing is ready.
- Lemon juice: 1 teaspoon

Next, if you need icing in different colors, divide the icing into different containers and add food coloring. Mix it. Look how beautiful it is!
- Food coloring: to taste

We distribute our mass into pastry bags. You can use regular bags if you don't have pastry bags. Or a pastry syringe.
