How to Make Nelson Cookie Bake Rolled Cookie Glaze Icing

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 large egg whites (ensure they're completely dried), and 2-3 tablespoons of water until a smooth, pourable consistency is achieved. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed.
  2. Divide the glaze evenly into two separate bowls.
  3. Add red paste food coloring to one bowl, mixing until you reach your desired shade of red for the Christmas stocking cookies.
  4. Add green paste food coloring to the second bowl, mixing until you reach your desired shade of green for the Christmas tree cookies.
  5. Dip each cooled cookie into the appropriate colored glaze, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess glaze.
  6. Place the glazed cookies on a wire rack or parchment paper to dry completely before decorating with piped icing. Allow at least 30 minutes to dry thoroughly before handling.
