I gave up on making royal icing for some cookies I made this summer for my daughter's birthday shower. The addition of Wilton meringue powder made it taste. Royal icing is a sweet, hard, shiny icing that's made from egg whites and confectioners' sugar (also known as powdered sugar). It's the perfect icing for decorating cookies, and you can use all kinds of colors to achieve pretty much any effect you can imagine.
Instructions to make Cookies with royal icing:
- Whisk egg whites and icing sugar together
- For flooding: When pulling a tooth pick through icing the dent should disappear in 4 counts (whisk until it only disappears after 4 counts)
- Colour half the icing for flooding with gel colouring (you can make as many colours as you like). Keep leftover icing in airtight container or ziplock bag in fridge for decorating.
- NB always keep icing closed with damped clothes when you're not using it. Never let it dry out**
- Place icing in piping bag with small round nozzle. There are 2 main flooding methods I use.
- Flooding method 1 (I used this one for these cookies): Pipe icing on cookie and with skewer or toothpick drag icing in circular motion to the edges https://youtu.be/CyFBQ3ylnhM
- Flooding method 2: Draw edge and fill cookie in the middle with icing https://youtu.be/K9wEILJshpU
- Let flooding dry overnight
- For fine decorating: When pulling a tooth pick through icing the dent should disappear in 9 counts (whisk until it only disappears after 9 counts)
- Divide icing in as many colours you please
- Play around with dots, stripes and letters.
It's best to use liquid pastured egg whites. Use this traditional royal icing recipe for both flooding and outlining your sugar cookies! The trickiest part is landing on the perfect consistency, but I have a helpful video for you below. To cover the cookies in a solid sheet of icing, start by positioning the piping tip at least three-eighths of an inch from the edge of the cookie. Once it touches the cookie, maintain a gentle pressure on the pastry bag, and slowly lift up until you're an inch above the cookie, tethered by a strand of royal icing.
