We are first working on making "stars."
I also tried making some sugar cookies using Royal Icing to decorate them. I colored the icing and was just playing around, and this is how they turned out:
The icing wasn't thick enough, so it ran some, but they still tasted great! The cookies with the icing tasted like those cookies you get in the fancy cookie bouquets. And making the Royal Icing is simple.
Royal Icing Recipe:
2 large egg whites
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice (you can use the lemon juice that comes in a bottle)
3 cups powdered sugar, sifted - add a little more if you think it needs to be a little thicker
In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the lemon juice. Add the sifted powdered sugar andbeat on low speed until combined and smooth. This will usually take about 5-7 minutes of beating to get it the right consistency. The icing needs to be used immediately or transferred to an airtight container as royal icing hardens when it is exposed to air.
And that's all! It's super easy, just have to make sure to keep it covered when you're not using it.
