My Favorite Royal Icing

Prep:5min

Here is my classic easy royal icing made with meringue powder. It's easy to work with, sets quickly, and won't break your teeth when it dries. It has the most delicious taste and texture and makes decorating sugar cookies fun and simple. Use this traditional royal icing recipe for both flooding and outlining your sugar cookies.

Made it for Christmas Eve for Sugar Cookies & Gingerbread. I ended up using 11 tablespoons of water to get a consistency where it fell off the spoon in 3-5 seconds when you scooped it up. That was great for flooding the cookie. VERY impressed with the texture of this though. I left a frosted cookie out for 24 hours and then took a bite. It still wasn’t like super hard like some royal icing gets. And the inside of the icing was still super soft and tasted good. (That was my sons decorating btw lol)
