How to Make Royal Icing from Scratch

vanilla extract

confectioners' sugar

In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix the egg whites and vanilla until frothy.

Gradually, add the sugar and mix on low speed until the sugar is incorporated and the icing is shiny. Turn the mixer to med-high and beat until the mixture forms stiff, shiny peaks, approximately 5-7 minutes.

Stir in food coloring if desired.

For immediate use, transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a tip and pipe onto the cookies. (Or if you're using a zip top bag, clip corner and pipe onto cookies.)

Icing can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Sugar Cookie Icing

c. milk,

almond (or pure vanilla) extract

Do you decorate Christmas cookies ever year?

I’m not usually one for bad reviews but the recipe for the this and the sugar cookies really nailed me. 
I saved them to make for my sons Valentines Day Party, then realized the party was a day earlier than expected...none of which is your fault, but it meant I had to stick with these recipes because I had no time to switch. 

The cookie dough is dry, and unworkable. I had to add milk and knead it again to get it to even roll out properly. 

The icing dripped off the cookies, then didn’t set overnight, it’s not wet but still soft. And I know how to measure dry ingredients. So perhaps, a re-working of this recipe is in order cause now I’m stuck with these disaster cookies for my sons party: and I think all know how brutal 1st graders can be. 

thanks,

Sugar Cookie Icing Recipe

cups powdered sugar, sifted

milk

tablespoon corn syrup

1/4-1/2 teaspoon extract (optional: vanilla, almond, peppermint or lemon)

Combine the sifted powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk in a bowl and whisk until well combined,  then Whisk in the corn syrup. If needed, add additional milk 1 teaspoon at a time to thin out the frosting. If too thin, add an additional 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.

To color the icing, divide the icing into separate bowls. Add a small drop of your gel colors to the icing. Mix thoroughly. 

Apply to cookies using a squeeze bottle or piping bag. 

The sprinkles bled easily, it was challenging to stir as it was so thick and the sprinkles has too much crunch in the fudge. I would need to make some big changes on this one to share with friends fam. Cute idea though!

Icing has a weird after taste. It mixed together well, but that cornstarch just made it yuck
