Hi Ruth, so happy it worked for you, I have bad shoulders and years ago needed an alternative to piping with a piping bag and thought about how they dip donuts into the icing and tried to figure out a way for the icing to be thinker so it didn’t run off the cookie like it does on donuts and it has really saved my shoulders as well as time 🙂
Happy Baking
Diane

OMG. I thought there was no way this would work. After two cookies I was like a pro! Ha. I have severe psoriatic arthritis and fibromyalgia and am a home baker and it saved my shoulders and my wrists. I am so so so thankful to you ! Am signing up and sending so many hugs !

In reply to Adriana.

You can add cocoa powder to make it chocolate, if you want the icing to have some shine to it add a tablesooon light corn syrup.
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon corn syrup
4 Tablespoons water -more or less depending on how thin or thick you’d like the icing. (slightly warm water mixes more easily than cold water)I find the cocoa absorbs better in warm water to rehydrate it.

[…] Glaze icing is easy to make, mix powdered sugar with warm slightly warm water, and add a drop at a time until you get the desired consistency you can dip the tops of the scones into the icing like this, or you can brush it on with a silicone brush, or drizzle the icing over the tops of the scones. If you want the glaze to have a lemon flavor just simply use lemon juice instead of water. […]
