[QUOTE="donna723, post: 396051, member: 1883"] I've never used the egg white wash - the colored sugar always stuck just fine even though a little bit is always going to fall off. And you put the icing on AFTER the cookies are baked and cooled. If you're using canned icing, it will never dry hard enough to stack them up without sticking together because it has shortning in it. You might try a very simple icing made of powdered sugar and a bit of water. You can tint it any color you want and it will dry hard. You can make it thin like more of a glaze or thick enough that you can use a piping bag and decorating tips. You can find the little basic decorating kits almost anywhere - they are very reasonable and you can even find them in the Dollar Store. Something [I]very[/I] quick and easy that I'm going to try again this year - if you have a mini muffin pan you can make very impressive looking cookies with packaged cookie dough. You cut the roll of cookie dough into 1-1/4 inch slices, then cut each slice into four pieces, then press the pieces into the muffin cups. Then press an unwrapped Hersheys Kiss into each cookie and bake. There are so many kinds of cookie dough and so many varieties of the Hersheys Kisses, the possibilities are almost endless. Besides the solid chocolate ones, they come in white chocolate, peanut butter, caramel, even some with raspberry inside! I might make a few with the red and green M&M's instead of the Hersheys Kisses too. [/QUOTE]
