Very nice! These are amazing - great details! (ps love your scren name!!)

Did you flood first and then use the same glaze for the detail?

yep

These cookies look like JUST what I've been trying to accomplish. They look like they taste good too! Forgive me for being a newbie but I've been trying to find the perfect cookie and the perfect glaze. Toba's book has a recipe for both glacé icing and outline glacé icing. Did you use the outline icing with these or just the plain glacé for outlining, flooding, and detail? ENLIGHTEN ME, OH MASTER! Wanna share your cookie recipe as well?

the butter cookie recipe is also in toba's book. you use the outline glace for outlining, the regular glace for flooding then the outline glace again for the details

WOOO HOOOOOOOO!! Thanks, kneadacookie! I will make these this weekend for my grandson's first Valentine's Day party at Mother's Day Out. I saw your website. VERY impressive!

Absolutely wonderful!
