NotesFor beautiful cookies you need the perfect icing, and classic Royal Icing is perfect for these old fashioned Christmas cookies. To make Royal Icing simply combine 3 1/3 cups powdered sugar with 2 large egg whites (remember, raw egg is not recommended for certain people). Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it’s white and glossy and has tripled in volume. Divide into smaller bowls and tint with food coloring as desired.
