Glaze cookie icing that looks like royal icing?

Saw a website that used glaze instead of royal icing for a cookie project, but as the project wasn't focused on the icing itself there's no recipe for the glaze.Anyone have a recipe that dries hard (but slower than royal icing), possibly uses cornsyrup, and has a nice smooth finish like royal icing!Thank you!

I did print one off as I want to have a play around with decorated cookies, Goodness knows where I put it! Will see if I can find it for you or get a link for it.

The technique is called Flooding, so if you google or youtube that you'll get results.Embroidery work is then applied using royal icing and a paint brush ontop of flooded work.

Here you go!It's very addictive.
I iced a batch of large shortbread cookies for my MIL and replicated her Royal Albert tea set pattern "The Greenwood Tree"; using these techniques.

Ok thanks for that.I asked at a cake shop and got some very complicated answers - am confused now!That tutorial looks good though so hopefully I can use it for what I'm doing.
