Welcome to the quick and easy royal icing recipe that will be the best royal icing you will ever make! This icing is perfect for decorating cookies!

Little Cookie Co's Royal Icing

2 pounds powdered sugar (1kg)
3 tablespoons meringue powder (30 grams)
2/3 cup of water (158 ml)
1/4 cup corn syrup (60 ml)
1 tablespoon butter bakery emulsion (15 ml)
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (15 ml)
1 teaspoon white color (5 ml)

Make sure your bowl and beater are grease free. You can wipe down the bowl and beater with vinegar if needed.

In mixing bowl, add powdered sugar and meringue powder and mix on low speed. Once combined, add half of the water, corn syrup, butter and vanilla flavours and mix on low speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl. If the icing is still dry and thick, add some more water until combined and slightly glossy looking. Add white food coloring. Scrape down bowl again and mix on medium speed for 3045 seconds or until the icing is light and fluffy. Be careful not to overmix as the icing can become crumbly once dry.

If the icing is too stiff, add a few more drops of water and mix until you reach a soft peak. If the icing is too soft, and cannot hold a soft peak, add a few tablespoons of powdered sugar and mix until the peak is soft but holds steady.
