Quick & Easy Cookie Icing
Colorful & Naturally Flavoured
Sweet Icing Recipe!
A quick and easy cookie icing that uses powdered sugar and natural fruit
juices to make a range of icing colors. Sweet gluten free icing for
cookies, cakes and muffins. Our kids really do enjoy making some of the
different colored icing and of course they love
to do the 'icing' of our cookie batches. It is always a huge hit when
each child, which for now would be our five eldest, are each using a
pastry brush and adding the different icing colors to make a piece of
artwork decorating a cookie. And this is before any sprinkles are
brought out to help decorate.
This is a a great quick icing or 'zuckerglasur' as Oma always referred to it when adding it to lemon cakes and 'sandkuchen' for our Sunday afternoon 'cafe und kuchen' cake & cookies tea time. Use lemon, raspberry, strawberry, blackberry juices to add your favorite flavors.

cake or muffin decorating area and just have some fun with using this
cookie icing with the colors, getting sweet and sticky fingers and being
together.
Enjoy!
