There is nothing in them to make them rise. They are a "shortbread" type of
cookie. I've made dozens of them...I use them as "prizes" when I do "The Food
Game" at demos. As for the frosting: use regular sugar. It gives you the
opportunity to see how nice a sparkle you get when the liquid sinks into the
warm cookie (I just mix sugar and water until I can spoon it on the cookies),
leaving the sugar in a layer on top! I also point out when I'm doing a demo
that they did not have powdered sugar....it was difficult enough to get that hard
loaf grated and pounded into what we call "granulated" as it was!
I use Cariadoc's redaction, also.
