Notes
ROYAL ICING TIPS:
Make sure your tools are grease-free. Wipe them dry with vinegar.
Use hand-held mixer or stand mixer.
Once Royal icing is prepared, it can be colored and thinned down to more fluid consistency for cookie decorating. You can then fill your piping bags and decorate cookies as desired.
If you plan on using royal icing later, store it in an airtight container covered tightly with plastic wrap and a lid to prevent crusting.
