Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 pound confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
5 tablespoons meringue powder

Steps:

  • Beat sugar, meringue powder, and a scant 1/4 cup water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on low speed until smooth, about 7 minutes. If icing is too thick, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time; if too thin, beat icing for 2 to 3 minutes more, or add more sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Use immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature overnight; stir before using.

I'm not much of a baker, but these cookies were surprisingly easy to make. The royal icing was a bit tricky to work with at first, but I got the hang of it after a few tries. The cookies turned out beautifully, and they were a big hit with my family

The cookies were a bit dry, but the royal icing helped to add some moisture. Overall, they were a good cookie, but I would probably try a different recipe next time.

The royal icing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the cookies themselves were delicious. I would recommend using less sugar in the icing next time.
