I made these. I got nervous that there wasn’t any baking powder or baking soda. Is that a mistake? I added baking powder

these came out delicious. for whoever said the icing came out too runny, just add a Tbsp of hot water at a time. I used a pastry bag to ice the cookies evenly. i recommend chilling the dough right before baking, just because some of my cookies flattened out a lot in the oven and lost their roundness which made it a little harder to ice. all in all a great recipe, will be making again.

Is it really 1 pound of margarine? 1 pound is a little over 2 cups which is 4 sticks of margarine.

I also had a problem with the icing… was too liquidy and didn’t firm up. I tried adding more confectioners sugar, I tried refrigerating and didn’t help much… any tricks?
P.s. they smell delicious and would love for them to come out great too!

I would suggest, mixing all the liquids together and slowly adding them to the confectioner’s sugar until you get the right consistency. Once there is too much liquid you need to add a lot more sugar for it to thicken up.

Ps I made them again and used about half the amount of water for each icing and it was perfect!

Firstly, I would sift the confectioner’s sugar so there are no clumps and then I would use a whisk or a fork to mix everything together. Place the confectioner’s sugar in the bowl first and then slowly add in the liquid ingredients. Hope this helps!

I’ve baked these in the past a number of times. YUM!!! They taste EVEN BETTER than the store bought or bakery versions! I even use these glazes for homemade doughnuts!
