ROYAL ICING
Royal icing sounds intimidating, but it's easy to make with simple ingredients. If you have a stand mixer, the whisk attachment does all the work. There is no meringue powder in this recipe, egg whites are used instead. This is the type of icing piped onto cutout cookies or even to put together gingerbread houses. Prepare a batch of royal icing to up your cookie decorating game.

Steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, add the separated egg whites and 2 tsp lemon juice.
- Slowly mix with a wire whisk.
- Add the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Mix on medium speed until well blended.
- To add coloring, I recommend using only gel food colors as they add brilliant color without thinning your frosting. For piping, I add all four cups of sugar and blend until stiff glossy peaks form that do not disappear into the bowl after 3-second count. If using for "flooding" or filling I only add 3 cups.
- If you have thickened the frosting too much add the milk a small amount at a time until you achieve the consistency you're looking for.
