Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Fresh egg whites
- 200 g Icing or confectioners’ sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- Gel colors, as per your choice
Instructions
- In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until you get a foamy texture. Beat the egg whites at a low speed, then proceed at high speed.
- Add icing sugar gradually in parts. Do not dump all the icing sugar at once, it will get lumpy, and you will not get the desired consistency.
- Lastly, add in vanilla essence and beat again until you get a nice glossy royal icing. It will be in a liquid form and will not have stiff or soft peaks, so do not overbeat the egg whites, or the texture will get ruined.
- Divide the royal icing into different bowls and add edible gel colors of your choice.
- To decorate your cookies, pipe the outline of your cookies first, then flood it in the middle. If you feel like the royal icing is a bit stiff, you can add a few drops of water to loosen it. And if your royal icing is too flowy, add icing sugar to make bring it to pipeable consistency.
