This frosting will dry like traditional royal icing, but it doesn't suck all the flavor and moisture out of the cookies and it tastes absolutely delicious!

Ingredients

  • 0.5 cups water
  • 0.25 cups meringue powder
  • 7 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup , such as Karo®
  • 2 tablespoons shortening , such as Crisco®
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whip water and meringue powder on high speed in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy and soft peaks form, 7 to 10 minutes. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, shortening, and vanilla extract while mixing on low speed. Increase speed back to high and beat until well-combined and smooth, about 3 minutes.
