This is a simple yet tasty royal icing for my Best Ever Sugar Cookies. I found this recipe to be the best flavor for the sugar cookies. It is a Martha Stewart recipe and if made with very fresh ingredients, it can't be beat.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup comfectoners` sugar
  • 1 egg white
  • 3 - 4 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • food coloring

Directions
  1. Mix the sugar, egg white and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. It should have the consistancy of heavy cream (you may need to add a bit more sugar).
  3. Add desired food coloring.
  4. Frost cookies
  5. I like to decorate after with any buttercream frosting or sprinkles and edible doodads.
  6. If you are concerned about egg safety, substitute dried egg whites.

This is a great recipe. I have use it before on my Easter cookies.


Thank you so much for posting this, I really appreciate it. Sounds great, can hardly wait to make some easter cookies now. Give you a 5 for this one too.


I was just looking for Royal Icing! So I can make the Best Ever Sugar Cookies that I probably won't let anyone eat because they will be decorarated so beautifully...lol


This is saved!! It will help in many recipes.


Got my 5, love this icing!! yumm with hugws


I didn't make the sugar cookies, but I used this icing on some applesauce cookies. I found that I had to just about double the sugar in order to get it thick enough to stay on the cookies. Did I do something wrong? I'll note now that this is my first time making icing like this. Overall it was really yummy and easy to make. My cookies looked spectacular! I'll definitely do this one again :)


How long does it take for the icing to be dry on frosted cookies?
