Below, you’ll find a recipe for royal icing and after the jump, a whole mess of Halloween cookie recipes to enjoy.  Mwa hahahahahah!

Ingredients:

3 Tablespoons Wilton Meringue Powder

4 cups confectioners’ sugar (about 1lb.)

6 Tablespoons warm water

Beat all ingredients until icing forms peaks (7-10 minutes at low speed with a heavy-duty mixer, 10-12 minutes at high speed with a hand-held mixer). Recipe makes 3 cups. Keep all utensils completely grease-free for proper icing consistency. For a stiffer icing, use 1 tablespoon less water.

Piping

Using a #3 tip, rest the tip on your index finger, pushing the icing out gently with your thumb.

Flooding

Flooding is when you want to fill or cover most of all of a cookie with a particular color of icing. For thinned Royal Icing add 1 teaspoon water per cup of royal icing. Add ½ teaspoon water at a time until you reach the consistency you want. To ice the whole top of a cookie, pour a thinned down consistency of icing into a pastry bag and use with a #2 tip.

Sugaring

Sanding sugar is a type of sugar that is several times larger than granulated sugar. This is what makes it sparkle.
