This royal icing is perfect for decorating cookies as it hardens completely as it dries. You will need patience, though, as it can take at least an hour, may two, to dry completely.
1 lb confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp meringue powder
5 tbsp water (perhaps 6)
Whisk the sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Add the 5 tablespoons of water and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until glossy peaks form, thinning with up to 1 more tablespoon of water if necessary.
Cover bowl with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap until ready to use to prevent drying.
