Instructions

1
Combine powdered sugar, meringue powder, and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer. Add 6 tablespoons of water and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
2
Add extracts and beat an additional 2 to 3 minutes until stiff peaks have formed. Transfer to a resealable container until ready to use. Refrigerate up to 7 days.
3
When ready to ice cookies, color icing if desired. Divide thick icing into number of bowls needed for colors you're mixing. (Pro Tip: to make sure colors match, color thicker icing before thinning out for the flooding icing.)
4
To thin out icing for flooding or filling in borders, transfer portions of colored thick icing to separate bowls and thin out by whisking in water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time. The consistency should spread out slowly like honey.
5
To decorate the cookies, use the thicker icing to form a border for roll out cookies, make gingerbread houses or create designs on cookies. Place the icing in a pastry bag or use a zip top bag and snip the corner.
6
To flood or fill in outlined cookies, use thinned-out royal icing and place in a pastry bag. Fill in the outlined cookies, using a toothpick to fill in any holes. If using sprinkles, add while icing is wet.
