| I want to make some cookies with a harder icing than the buttercream icing (like the type on cookies you buy from the store) and am wondering how I can make this. Any ideas would be appreciated, Thank you |

| Royal icing: powdered sugar, powdered egg white, and water. Add just enough water to get the consistency you need, and let it mix for a few minutes. Follow directions on egg white package for ratio of powder to water.

| Does that icing taste like passionfruit? I've never heard of using that before. |

| It does have a very distinctive taste of passionfruit and butter. The only problem that you may encounter is that some people may not like the black passionfruit pips, which can be removed prior to adding the pulp to the mix.A choice that you will have to make in advance.

| Hey! I don't know if commercial fondant is available where you are but it can be melted in a double boiler and piped onto cookies (or they can be dipped into it). If you can't get it you can make a mock version by using icing sugar with just enough water to become a very, very thick icing. Add a dash of glycerine and a touch of glucose. Heat over a double boiler until you reach the desired consistency - do not overheat or it will lose it's shine. Chocolate ganache is also great on cookies - 3 parts chocolate and 1 part double cream, melt together over a double boiler. Hey presto!...... Hope you like! ![]() |
