Decorating Icing
- Ready In:
- 6mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
3 cups (approx)
ingredients
- 1 (1 lb) box confectioners' sugar
- 4 teaspoons powdered egg whites
- 1⁄3 cup water (room temperature)
- 2 -4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
- food coloring
directions
- In a large bowl beat all ingredients (except food colouring) with an electric mixer at medium speed until just combined and smooth (about 1 minute).
- Increase speed to high and beat icing until stiff peaks form, it will take about 3 minutes if you are using a heavy-duty stand mixer, and 4-5 minutes for a hand mixer.
- Beat in food colouring (if using).
- **NOTE** If you are planning to spread the icing instead of piping onto cookies, you might need to whisk in more water (a teaspoon at a time) to acheive the desired spreading consistancy.

perfect consistency that i've been looking for, but tasted horrible! ruined my cookies. i'm gonna say the lemon juice was the culprit. a teaspoon would have been more than enough. gonna try the powdered egg whites with my regular buttercream frosting next time. ok, UPDATE: after cookies sat for 12 hours and hardened, sour taste was gone. what happened??
