This tastes wonderful. Hardens so you can stack or bag the cookies, but is still soft to bite into.

Alice’s Cookie Icing

Ingredients

  • 1# sifted powdered sugar (1 pound equals 4 cups)
    3 TBSP. meringue powder
    5-6 TBSP water for a thin consistency
    1/2 cup butter

Instructions

    Cream butter, add sugar & meringue powder, then add water. For a stiff consistency to make a dam on the cookies, I beat in 2-3T of water first, remove some icing for stiff consistency, then add more water until it is very thin & flows like color flow.
