Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies image

If you're decorating cookies using our royal icing for sugar cookies and have a compromised immune system, we recommend instead using meringue powder, found in the baking aisle of most markets, instead of raw egg whites.

Yield Makes 2 1/3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 box confectioners' sugar (1 pound)
5 tablespoons meringue powder, or 2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar and meringue powder. Mixing on low speed, add a scant 1/2 cup water. For a thinner consistency, usually used for flooding, add more water. A thicker consistency is generally used for outlining and adding details. Mix until icing holds a ribbonlike trail on the surface of the mixture for 5 seconds when you raise the paddle.
