Is it better or easier to use glaze rather than fondant on cookies?

I'm looking for a bit easier way to decorate cookies for my daughter's party and fondant is a bit of a hassle what with the rolling and the cutting and all. Would it still taste good if I were to use a glaze rather than fondant? I would need to color it and I will pipe icing to decorate over the top. Do you have a good glaze recipe that would work well?

I've never personally used fondant on cookies but I have seen quite a few bakeries do so to cut corners.

There are a few different types of fondant, there is the roll-able one that you are talking about and there is a liquid version of it as well.

I would suggest using royal icing, you can pick up some merange powder at you local craft supply shop and follow the directions to make royal icing.

The benefit of royal icing it is easy to pipe onto the cookies, but turns hard after you have left it for a while. Good luck.
