Description
A smooth, glossy icing that sets firm and is perfect for decorating sugar cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (480 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- 3–5 tablespoons room-temperature water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Sift the confectioners’ sugar into a bowl.
- Add meringue powder, water, and vanilla.
- Mix on low for 30 seconds, then medium for 4–5 minutes until glossy and stiff peaks form.
- For piping consistency, keep icing thick; for flooding, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
