Making Royal Icing is not difficult, you just have to do it more often to get a feel for it. The exact thickness of the glaze depends on whether you want to pipe lines or whether you want to fill those lines with icing. In the first case you make the glaze a bit thicker because you want to make nice straight lines. But if you want to fill them up, it is nicer if the glaze is slightly thinner and flows out.
Place the sugar and egg whites in a mixing bowl.
Add the lemon juice.
Mix it into a shiny, smooth icing.
Divide the icing between as many bowls as you want to make colours.
Put colour in a drop at the time and stir until the right colour appears.
Now you can pipe lines with this thick icing.
Do you want to fill in with icing between the lines then stir in water per tablespoon to make the icing looser.
We do not strive to make the perfect cookie, we do want our biscuits to look pretty and we always do our best to achieve that. What we especially want is that the mini monsters like the taste of the biscuits and like to (help) make them. Best proof of this is that our biscuits disappear on average in 10 minutes!
