toffee cut out cookies with toffee icing

toffee cut out cookies with toffee icing

It’s funny how sometimes the shortest conversation can be the best part of the day.

I spoke to THE most wonderful woman today on the phone. I really wish the conversation was in person, but 3,000 miles separate us.

It was my husband’s grandmother. She is one of the SWEETEST people I’ve ever met.

She is 89 years old and she is so loving and caring and just hearing her sweet voice on the other end of the phone, made my day.

I so wish we lived close by to sit and share some cookies and tea together.  We all miss her so much! We visited with her last summer and we talk about the day we spent with her often. I wish my grandparents were still with us, but I’m so fortunate to have had her welcome me into their family as lovingly as she did. I feel truly blessed to have her in my life.

This was the first time I used toffee extract and well……I’m SURE I’ll be using it again. It has a yummy aroma and tastes so great.

    Love them! Do you outline & flood like with royal icing? Or is it different? Thanks for your help!

      I made toffee flavored glaze icing, the recipe was at the bottom of the post, I just moved it so it’s in the printable format. Hopt that is helpful. You can add toffee extract to royal icing if you prefer.

    I want to try the glaze! I’ve just never used it before & wasn’t sure if you piped it like royal.

      yes you pipe it on like royal icing, once you achieve the desired consistency you like it pipes on like a dream. It dries shinier than royal icing and is really pretty. I use both, but it’s so easy to whip up a batch of glaze icing it’s my go to icing. I use it the most although I’m slowly converting to royal icing now that I finally got the consistency perfect! Let me know how it goes. It dries really hard, don’t stack until it’s completely dry, just like royal icing.
