Glossy Royal Icing for Cookie Decorating

As a cookie decorator I want to get a beautiful look to my cookies. To do this I use a variety of cookie icing recipes.

But, by far my most popular and most used recipe is this one.

Why? This glossy icing dries with a nice shine which shows off the designs. It also dries hard so you can stack or even ship in the mail without the icing being disturbed.

I created a quick tutorial here.

How to Make – this recipe will decorate about 15 – 24 cookies

Ingredients:

Add ingredients and stir with a whisk or use a mixer. If you want the icing thinner, add more milk. If you want icing thicker, add more powdered sugar. Once cookies are decorated they will dry within one hour.
