Royal Icing
Ingredients
- 2 lbs powdered sugar
- 2 T meringue powder
- 1 c warm water
- food coloring in desired colors (I used red and green)
- Festive sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Place powdered sugar into your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add meringue powder and warm water. Turn the mixer on slowly and gradually increase the speed until a smooth frosting forms.
- Divide into separate bowls and stir in food coloring as desired.
- I like to transfer to plastic squeeze bottles as its easy for the kids to use and keeps table much cleaner! I use these funnels to get the icing into the bottle. *If it’s too thick to transfer, add a little water to thin it out.
Notes:
*This is how much icing I make when doubling the cookie recipe! However, I’ve found that Kids like to use a lot of icing, so it never hurts to have too much! 🙂
