- Once the cookies are cool, dip the tops in the glaze by turning time upside down and gently lift them out, turn them over and return them to the cooking rack or a sheet of parchment to dry.
Notes
- These cookies can be stored at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days after baking.
