Comments
This is a great cookie recipe - HOWEVER - the glaze needs a definite improvement as it turned out runny with your directions.
Worked well for me, I think glaze should be fairly runny. Noticed that the directions state to just use enough water to make glaze to the desired consistency. I glazed on a wire rack and they turned out perfectly.
