Maple Glaze Icing
This simple maple glaze is the perfect finishing touch for already-sweet cookies. Instead of a heavy frosting, this glaze delivers a bold maple flavor while drying firm enough for stacking, gifting, or transporting to family gatherings. It whisk together in minutes, drizzles beautifully, and sets into a smooth, glossy finish that won’t overwhelm the cookie underneath.

Instructions

  • Whisk

    In a small bowl, whisk the melted butter, mayple syrup (or pancake syrup), maple extract, and salt. 

  • Add Sugar

    Slowly whisk in the powdered sugar. It will look clumpy at first.

  • Thin it out

    Add the milk (or water) one teaspoon at a time while whisting at a medium-low speed. 

    • Consistency Goal: You want it thick enough to coat a spoon, but thin enough to drizzle off the spoon in a steady stream similarly to honey.
  • The Drizzle

    Once the cookies are completely cool, use a fork or piping bag to drizzle a zig-zag pattern across the top of the intended baked goods.

  • Sit & Wait

    Let them sit for 20 minutes so the glaze hardens before packing them up.
