Baby Shower Cookies

These were made for favors for a Noahs Ark themed baby shower. I got the inspiration for the animals off of my sons newborn pj's and blankets. They are iced in a glaze and are lemon sugar cookies.

rene1976, I just pipe the outline and then immediately flood, all with the same consistency icing. This ends up giving that look of no outline. Please let me know if you want any fiurther clarification.

katnmouse, sure its a basic cookie glaze, I think pretty much the same as Toba's Glaze which I know is posted here on CC. Powdered sugar, milk, cornsyrup and flavoring of choice. I start with 2 tsp of both milk and cornsyrup per 1 cup of confectionary sugar, then thin to the right consistency with more corn syrup. I like it because its less hassle than royal, drys a bit shinier and less hard and you can make as little or as much as you want.
