Ingredients

  • 4 Cups (440 grams)
  • 3 Tbsp Meringue Powder
  • 9-10 Tbsp Water room temperature

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, with whisk attachment whip sugar, meringue powder and water together on medium high until combined and thick. (4-5 minutes)
  • When you lift the whisk from the bowl, icing should be glossy and softly fall back into the bowl without completely falling off whisk. If it seems to thick add another Tbsp of water and mix again. On the other hand if its too thin, slowly add more powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached.
  • Transfer to piping bag with desired tip and decorate. Set frosted cookies on counter to set for 1-2 hrs before stacking.
