Eggless Sugar Cookies with Buttercream Icing

Wishing All My Readers A Merry Christmas!!

Yesterday I planned on making these cookies but couldn't finish it with so many other works. I made the dough yesterday and refrigerated the slabs for a whole day. Today I made a batch of two dozen cookies in the morning but couldn't find time to frost as I had some guests. I had the recipe of buttercream icing pinned on my Pinterest Board and finally after lunch, I decided to make a small quantity of the icing to frost the two dozen cookies. My BIL visited us with his family and this made a nice after lunch treat for them. I frosted the cookies and hurriedly took some snaps and then served them for the guests. The whole plate vanished within 1/2 an hour and I was so so happy. Hubby dear didn't even get a cookie to taste. As I have one more batch of dough in the fridge, I am planning to make it tomorrow.

Glaze Icing on Sugar Cookies (with liquid glucose)

Happy Pongal To All My Readers

Hope you all are celebrating Pongal today. Though it is Pongal, I am writing a post on cookies. I am that crazy. Last week, I wanted to try my hand at glaze icing the cookies.

The actual recipe uses corn syrup but in India as corn syrup is not available, we usually substitute it with liquid glucose. This substitution works best and my cookies turned out beautiful, though I had wrist pain for two days.
