Royal icing for cookies is an easy recipe if you plan ahead just a little and get the measurements and the timing correct, it works every time!
how do you make royal icing for cookies?
Start by measuring out the meringue powder and the water. It’s important that you measure them both correctly and as stated in the recipe (see recipe card at the end of the post)
Step 1 – Add your powdered sugar a bit at a time so it doesn’t make a big mess, then mix slowly until the sugar and liquid is all blended together.
Step 2 – Set your stand mixer on the medium/high setting and set a timer for 4 minutes, the timing is crucial so don’t forget this step.
Step 3 – After 4 minutes check to see if the icing is forming stiff peaks (like you see in the image with the stand mixer below) if not beat for a minute more.
Step 4 – Cover the royal icing right away as it will harden if left uncovered, I like to use Press ‘N’ Seal as it works better than plastic wrap.
