Martha's Favorite Royal Icing image

Royal icing is best for decorating cookies, since it dries to a plaster-hard finish. This recipe yields enough to cover about 100 three- to four-inch cookies. To ice all those in this story, you will need to make two batches of icing; increasing the recipe by half won't work well.

This recipe was a disaster! The icing was lumpy and tasted terrible.

Not a fan of this recipe. The icing was too runny and didn't hold its shape.

I had some trouble getting the icing to the right consistency. It was either too thick or too thin.

This icing is a little too sweet for my taste, but I'm sure it can be adjusted to personal preference.

This icing is perfect for decorating cookies. It holds its shape well and doesn't spread.
