Please note this is not a vintage or even old fashion recipe. I only put it here because it works so well to decorate sugar cookies, that I thought some of you might want to use it with the old cookie recipes.
1 lb powdered sugar
3 tsp meringue powder
1/3 cup warm water
assorted food colorings (paste colors work the best)
In a mixing bowl with the mixer at medium speed, beat the powdered sugar, meringue powder and water until blended and the mixture is so stiff that a butter knife drawn through it will leave clean-cut path. This will take about 5 minutes.
If you wish to use different colors, separate out into separate bowls and mix in colors to desired shades.
If needed, you may add drops of warm water to make a smooth spreading consistency.
