Perfect Sugar Cookie Icing
I have found the Perfect Sugar Cookie Icing. This icing sets up well and keeps your cookies crisp and colorful. No more soggy cookies for me!
Ingredients
- 5 - 6 cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg white (recommend pasteurized eggs for safety) or 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 5 tablespoons warm water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla or lemon or almond or chocolate extract
- gel-based colors optional
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients (except the gel-based colors) into a work bowl of your standing mixer or hand-held mixer. On medium-low speed (for freestanding mixer) or on high speed (handheld mixer) beat until soft peaks form, about 7 - 10 minutes with free-standing, or 10 - 12 minutes with handheld. Divide as needed to color or thin, depending on what you are decorating.
- Allow the cookies to dry overnight, then store in an air-tight container.
