Royal Icing

This is a great icing for cookies.  It travels extemely well when shipping cookies and gives cookies that professional look.

4-cups powdered sugar
3-tablespoons meringue powder
1/2-teaspoon extract (vanilla, almond or orange work best)
1/2-cup warm water

Mix all ingredients in a bowl by hand until combined then use an electric mixer and mix on medium until fluffy but dense.  When tinting, use gel style food coloring.

This recipe is a common recipe and not one of my own...I cannot take credit for it but it does work very well.
