This glaze is designed to be “painted” onto cookies after they’re baked and cooled. It’s great for kids; just divide the glaze up among several small pots or the compartments of an ice cube tray, and let them paint away.

Great Grandma Lucas’s Lemon Butter (Lemon Curd)
Lemon butter—or lemon curd, as it is more commonly known—is a staple of the British Isles, and has been a staple in my family as well, through at least five generations on my mother’s side.
Burnt (Browned) Butter
Also known as browned butter, beurre noisette, or ghee, burnt butter has a marvelous, toasted-nut flavor.
Pecan Praline
It’s magical how a simple combination of nuts and sugar syrup can be so good. Use praline as a topping or ingredient in butter or sugar cookies.
Vanilla Sugar
It takes a couple of weeks to produce real vanilla sugar, but it’s worth every minute of the wait. You can use this in place of regular sugar in just about any cookie where you want an extra boost of vanilla.
