Vanilla-Almond Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies
This vanilla-almond royal icing recipe gives your cookies a softer bite while still being firm enough to harden and package. I absolutely love the vanilla almond flavoring, but this royal icing recipe also works well with other extracts. It also makes a great royal icing base that can be mixed with cocoa powder for a chocolate flavored royal icing. Try out different flavor combinations and make it your own!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Meringue Powder
- 1/2 cup Water Room Temperature or Warm
- 2 pounds Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- 3 tablespoons Vanilla Extract Clear (if possible)
- 2 tablespoon Almond Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 3 tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
Instructions
- Mix 1/3 cup of meringue powder with 1/2 cup of water on high speed for about 2-3 minutes (or until frothy).1/3 cup Meringue Powder, 1/2 cup Water
- Add vanilla extract, almond extract and lemon juice and mix on low-to-medium for about 30 seconds.3 tablespoons Vanilla Extract, 2 tablespoon Almond Extract, 1/2 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- Slowly add powdered sugar and cream of tartar. Mix on medium for about 3-5 minutes, until fluffy.2 pounds Powdered Sugar, 1/4 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
- Add corn syrup and mix on medium for approximately 1 minute.3 tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
- This should give you a 15-20 second consistency. I like to use this consistency for outlining AND flooding. However, you can add more water to thin or add more powdered sugar to thicken (especially for details).
