Royal Icing

Use this simple icing recipe to make professional looking cookies. Use my sugar cookie recipe for easy, delicious decorated cookies. Simply ice cookies using a decorating bag and piping tips. Careful because icing hardens when exposed to air. Make sure to cover unused icing in an airtight container until use.

• 2 large egg whites
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 3 cups powdered sugar

1. Beat egg whites and lemon juice until light and fluffy
2. Slowly add powdered sugar until will blended.
3. Store in air-tight container until use.

*Decorating tip: I tried both ways, and outlining the cookies first before filling in is the best way to get a clean look.
