For the variations below, dissolve the designated amount of the Nature's Inspiration Food Colors with water in small bowl. Stir in any remaining ingredients until smooth.
To glaze cookies, hold a cookie by its edge and dip the top into the glaze. (Or spoon the glaze onto cookies using a teaspoon.) Place iced cookies on wire rack set over foil-covered baking sheet to dry. (The foil-covered baking sheet will catch drips.) Let stand until glaze is set.
