Looking for the perfect cookie icing? Look no further! This is made with meringue powder so you can make ahead and store for weeks! Amazing for gingerbread houses too!

Ingredients

• 4 cups (about 1 lb.) powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
• 5 tablespoons warm water
• 3 tablespoons meringue powder

Tools

• Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• Large bowl
• Spatula
• Icing bag
• Piping tools
• Wilton food color paste

Instructions

• Beat all ingredients (except color) well until stiff peaks form. 7 to 10 minutes. A stiffer consistency is better for outlining. You may add a few drops of water to thin it for “flooding” or covering a cookie.
• Divide your icing to create multiple colors. Mix a small amount of food coloring in until your desired color is reached.
• Cover icing to prevent drying as you work.
• Add to pastry bag with desired tips.
