To celebrate the holiday season, use this quick and simple royal icing variation to decorate cutout sugar cookies with friends and family.

Use an electric mixer to whip water and meringue powder in a big bowl at high speed for 7 to 10 minutes, or until fluffy and soft peaks form.

Shortening, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar are gradually added while mixing at low speed.

Resuming high speed, beat for about 3 minutes, until thoroughly combined and smooth.
