This recipe is also from The Decorated Cookie (she is AMAZING!). The original recipe is Here
Ingredients
4 tablespoons of meringue powder
1/2 cup of water
2 Tablespoons of Crisco
2 tablespoons of light corn syrup
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
7-8 cups of powdered sugar (sifted)
Directions
First whip the meringue powder with the water for a several minutes until it is fluffy and forms peaks. One way to know it is done is if the bowl is turned upside down, nothing falls out. I use a stand mixture with the whisk attachment, but it can be done with a hand mixture as well, it will just take a bit longer. When that is done add the next 3 ingredients and mix. Finally add the sifted powdered sugar.
*The normal consistency is thick. If you want a stiffer consistency, add more powdered sugar, for a thinner one add more corn syrup. DO NOT add any more water, that causes a kind of cracked, discolored look when dry. Also this icing does harden enough to stack the cookies on each other but it is not a hard as normal royal icing. I have found that this icing is not great for pipping 3D decorations like roses. This royal icing is more appropriate for that.
