I am always looking for new ways to add texture to glaze icing.
These scrap-book embossing folders turned out to be a treasure trove!

Forest Embossing Folder

Fall Leaf Embossing Folder
 

They work really well on partially dried glaze.
I've already ordered many more....... :)



Outline and flood the cookies with glaze.



Allow the glaze to dry for at least 4 hours.
Press the open embossing folder into the cookie (impression side down).

Some may stick to the folder, but in my book, imperfections are just fine.
(Nobody is really perfect anyway......even if it appears that way.)

Allow the cookies to dry overnight.

Apply some dry dust over the surfaces to accentuate the texture.
If desired, mix dust with clear extract (ex: almond) or vodka & apply it wet for a different effect.
(Below the gold was applied wet and the chocolate was applied dry.)
