Ornamental Frosting
Yield: about 3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
- 3 tablespoons meringue powder
- Assorted food colorings
Instructions
- In bowl with mixer at low speed beat confectioners' sugar, meringue powder and 1/3 cup warm water until mixture is stiff and knife drawn through it leaves a clean-cut path, about 7 minutes.
- If you like, tint frosting with food colorings as desired; keep covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
- With small metal spatula, artists' paint brushes, or decorating bags with small writing tubes, decorate cookies with frosting. You may need to thin frosting with a little warm water to obtain the right spreading or piping consistency.
