Source: Good Housekeeping

Prep time: 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 package (16 oz.) confectioners' sugar
  • 3 T meringue powder
  • 1/3 c warm water

Directions

  1. In bowl, with mixer on medium speed, beat confectioners’ sugar, meringue powder, and warm water until mixture is so stiff that a knife drawn through it leaves a clean-cut path (about 5 minutes).

  2. Tint frosting with food colorings as desired; keep covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

  3. With small metal spatula, artists’ paintbrushes, or decorating bags with small writing tips, decorate cookies with frosting.

  4. Thin frosting with warm water to obtain the desired spreading or piping consistency.
