This is an easy royal icing recipe that I use when I am making a large amount of sugar cookies.

When I am baking more than a few batches of cookies, I usually don’t have a whole lot of time to dedicate to decorating each and every cookie. This recipe for easy royal icing is simple to whip up, quick drying, and floods the cookies beautifully. Great for holiday cookies, theme parties, or bake sales!

Use this easy royal icing recipe with my favorite sugar cookie recipe!
