Decorating Valentine Sugar Cookies with glaze-like icing
For a glaze-like icing you have to apply the mixtures before baking your Valentine Sugar Cookies.

Now spread the liquid egg mixture over the top of your Valentine Sugar Cookies and bake them as mentioned in the recipe. You will see that the egg-mixture will harden into a smooth, pink, glaze-like icing, giving a nice look.
