Tip #1
- These cookies are tender, so handle them carefully and allow them to cool completely before dipping.
Tip #2
- Stir glaze frequently to prevent it from setting up. If glaze becomes set while dipping cookies, microwave 5-10 seconds or until melted; stir until smooth.
Tip #3
- If combining red and yellow food color to create orange, start with 4 drops of yellow and 1 drop of red. Adjust as needed to get desired shade of orange.
