This icing is ideal for anise cookies. Separate it into several little bowls for lots of colors. Tint with a few drops food coloring. Use little paintbrushes to color. Kids will love it!

I was looking for the "Hard Crack" icing recipe my mom used to make. When she passed away I didn't find her "secret" recipe note book. This is the PERFECT icing for apple pockets pies & soft cookies. Read More

It’s fantastic. I wanted an icing that didn’t require egg. I figured it’s going on a cookie, why would I want raw egg? This worked out perfectly. I added a bit more heavy whipping cream as it was a bit dry and then separated into different bowls for my girls to paint sugar cookies for Santa. They loved it. It didn’t take long to harden up. They even tasted great the next day. Highly recommend. Read More
