Just what I needed! I’ve used other, similar recipes that call for corn syrup – which I will never use again!

Description
Here’s the icing you need for decorating cookies with a hard, shiny, opaque finish.
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Meringue Powder
- ½ cups (scant) Water
- 1 pound Powdered Sugar, Sifted
- ¼ teaspoons Clear Extract (such As Almond)
Preparation
Mix together the meringue powder and water using the paddle attachment of an electric mixer until combined and foamy.
Add in the powdered sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Add the extract, if desired. Raise speed to high and beat until glossy and thick. The icing should stand at a peak.
If tinting the icing, divide into containers and tint using gel/paste food colorings (AmeriColor recommended).
This icing is for piping and detailing. To thin for filling in outlines (flood icing), add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it is the consistency of a thick syrup.

This is has been my go-to royal icing recipe since I started following your blog. It always works well for me even in East Texas humidity. I add a little more flavoring and have used emulsions with good results.
