Recipe Introduction


yeilds 3 cups
or 48 servings
points 1 (1 tablespoon)


List of Ingredients




16 ozs powdered sugar 1 tsp yellow paste icing color
3 tbsps meringue powder 1 tsp red paste icing color
1/3 c warm water 1 tsp leaf green paste icing color

Recipe



In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, meringue powder, and water. Mix mixture for five minutes, or until it is so stiff that knife drawn through it leaves a clean-cut path. If desired, add coloring to frosting. With decorating bag, with small tip, decorate cookies with frosting. If mixture is too thick add a little more warm water to desired spreading or piping consistency. Keep frosting covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Decorate cookies as desired.

Yields: 3 cups (48 one tablespoon servings). Frosting may be stored in refrigerator in airtight container for up to one week (rebeat frosting slightly to make it spreadable).
