Use this icing for brushing or streaking on cookies, or dip the top third of cookies in, then let the excess icing drip back into the pan before turning the cookies right side up again. If the icing seems too thin after it is heated, add a few tablespoons more confectioners’ sugar; if it is too thick, a teaspoon or so of water—it is easy to get the icing to the right consistency.
