There are several kind of icing recipes to decorate sugar cookies and this recipe indeed is the easiest and less expensive icing recipe. You do not need a mixer, eggs or meringue powder and I will share with you how to make easy sugar cookies icing in this post.
The flavor is a little different as well the consistency, but this icing also dries hard!! One thing that I love about the royal icing is that dries hair and this make the handling of the cookies very easy and not messy.
This icing takes a longer time to dry hard and is very similar to the glaze that is used for doughnuts, you can add some drops of lime juice or your favorite clear extract. Peppermint, cotton candy, almond and clear vanilla extract are among my favorites.
Custom decorated cookies are most of the time associate with a high price tag, like the ingredients are pricy and some cookies are very intricate that it takes several hours to finish them, but I think decorating cookies is affordable for everyone and there are ways to lower the cost of them and it might be not as pretty, but for sure they will be a great treat or a great activity to make with kids of all ages, just gather a variety of sanding sugars and sprinkles and that's it!
Here is the recipe, I hope you can give it a try and decorate some fun Christmas cookies for friends and family!
