How to make the BEST tasting royal icing with meringue powder (step-by-step recipe instructions)

- My signature recipe for royal icing with meringue powder. It's THE best recipe and sure to please the tastebuds My recipe is traditional in that it uses meringue powder, powdered sugar, liquid and flavoring. However, what makes my icing unique is that I use lemon juice (instead of water & vanilla) for both liquid AND flavoring (once mixed I do use water to thin for the different consistencies). My cookies have been described as a sugar cookie meets SweeTART. That's a win!

Please note: due to a malfunction on the back end of my TH-cam channel, all comment responses I’ve ever given as the channel owner prior to April 6, 2023 were unfortunately deleted (any comments left after that date are still OK). It’s such a bummer and I appreciate your understanding ❤
This is honestly so helpful I've ruined many royal icing tries and I really appreciate this
I've been dying for your recipe! Because your icing is smooth and perfect!
By the way, just my 2¢, but my mom's Bosch mixer gets the sides, and they don't need to be scraped down. However, it's noisy in an irritating way and $$. Oh, and has an airtight cover.
@K B - do you use the paddles or whisks?
Does this have a lemon taste? Is there a different recipe you use for almond, or vanilla?
I´ve been falling in love with your videos. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you for making such great content available!
Fun fact the reason it looks whiter after you beat your icing is because there's a lot of tiny air bubbles now in it and there reflecting the light more and makes it look whiter.
This is also the reason it gets thicker the more you beat it. You are incorporating more air into it, just like how you beat cream into whipped cream. And why buttercream becomes whiter the longer you beat it.
Grace, thank you for sharing your recipes and tips with us 🥰🥰 you’re the best ❤️

Hello from Western Australia 🇦🇺I have tried lots of royal icing recipes and I have just made this recipe. Hands down it is the best!. It tastes devine!! It is the first time as a newbie, that I have mastered consistency to a T. Thank you sooo much for recipe and sharing your wonderful, beautiful and inspirational videos and talent.
Hello, fellow Aussie here. What meringue powder did you use?
Looks very good 👍👍🌹❤️
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing 🙂🌷
Tip: if you’re vegan (like me) or you don’t eat eggs, just add 1/4 cup aquafaba instead of meringue powder and your extract of choice and tsp of cream of tarter and whip until it foams up then add your icing sugar until a little fluffy and little stiff then remove and put in air tight container and add water to thin depending on what consistency you’re going for
is merange powder not vegan?
@@itsme7679 No meringue powder is not vegan it’s dehydrated egg whites
@@thegracefulbaker oh your very welcome! And I love your work! Your cookies are very beautiful!!
What do you use as a butter substitute for the cookies?
@@tolchild1 I'm planning on trying vegan butter. There are several options available.

Grace!!!! So I made this and it was Delicious. Perfect lemon flavor, dried beautifully. Valentine's coming up, have you tried Chefmaster reds or pinks or do you purely stick to Wilton? I would love to make some of the colors from your heart video.
Now I need the cookie recipie
I am sooooo glad to find your channel it really helps alot thank you very much. I have couple of questions and l hope you gonna answer them first how to keep icing for long time if i prepare a large amount of it? Second i need the recipe in grams or cups specially for the sugar
beautiful sharing sis
Thank you thank you!!!!!!
I appreciate you sharing what you've learned through your experiences, and thoroughly explaining " why"....sparing us all much frustration, wasted time and ingredients.
Thank you for sharing your recipe! I have clearly been making my icing wrong, which is good news because maybe there’s hope for me yet. 😂 And I’m 100% with you, don’t make extra dishes to wash if you don’t have to. 👍🏻👍🏻
Quantities?

Loved this. You have so many designs and shapes of cookies. What do you use to cut them out?
I try a different recipe for royal icing on my sugar cookies 🍪 like for instance I use egg whites then add powder sugar now seeing your video I should really try the Marian powder again thanks for the tip love your video

Hi! Thank you so much for sharing its fantastic!!!!!!! Quick question what is the shelf life of a ready to eat cookie?
Weather patterns definitely affect what you're baking. It's definitely true of fudge making and how it sets.

You could add a teeny tiny amount of purple or blue coloring and it would make it super bright white.
Hi Grace, your my favorite baker! Can you tell me how you get your icing colors so dark?
Hey Grace! I am so happy that your recipe is out! I will definitely be trying this out. Can I substitute the lemon juice with something like water? Or does the lemon juice flavor not come through in the icing?
@Folina Bandito Thank you so much!
@@thegracefulbaker You're the best! Thanks!
I want to lick the spoon so bad...😬😆 Thank you for the recipes, and your cookies are beautiful. I'll enjoy the decorating videos!!
Hello...glad I've found you.
Your work Is just amaizing 🙈💕.
Question...how about using egg whites.. Will I get the same result? Its complicated to find that powder where I live .
REGARDS FROM GUAYAQUIL - ECUADOR
Hey! Can I use egg whites instead of meringue powder? My country doesn’t have meringue powder lol
Hello, is it possible to make this without merengue powder? I don’t have that in my country
How long does the icing keep if you don’t use it all in one go?
Thank you! Would white food coloring allow more colors to wokr with this recipe ? I also like a very lemony royal icing. OR would lemon extract not affect the colors that way?
Feito com muito 🤗 carinho 🤗🇧🇷🌿
Hi, Grace. Thanks for your recipe. Is meringue powder equal albume?
When you beat the icing, some air is incorporated that gives it more volume & a lighter color the same way as pulling candy.
Hi well I don't mean to badge in your comment but I find your words touching and I honestly love the way you express yourself. I hope this finds you well. And I hope to hear from you 😊❤❤😊❤
does the icing have a lemon taste? if so is there a substitute
Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. Question - I noticed you poured the icing sugar straight from the bag, how come? I was under the impression that we always needed to sift it.
i just want to learn or get the general idea of the cookie.
Your videos are so helpful and my first batch came out delicious! If I wanted to make some with more of a vanilla flavor instead of the lemon what would I need to use?
Thank you! I give alternatives in the class workbook! And in this blog post: thegracefulbaker.com/royal-icing-with-meringue-powder/
Can you do this with a hand mixer? A stand mixer is definitely on my Christmas list 😂
Hope my question is not a repeat question. Why do we get the frosting to a stiff peak stage and then thin instead of just stopping at a thinner texture?
Could you please explain why we should use bottled lemon juice from concentrate rather than using freshly squeezed lemon?
What cookie recipe do you use
Is there an alternative to the meringue powder? I'm gutted that I can't make this because I've got a severe egg allergy
I didn't know you could overbeat royal icing! When I make sugar cookies the royal icing dries with this sort of crystallized look, could that be the result of overbeating? Love from the Caribbean💜
Thanks for recipe but I have question the flavor of lemon juice isn't it strong when I eat it?? Please answer me
Hello I just watched this and I have a bit of confusion, I currently make horse cookies with royal icing do you have to include lemon juice or can it be something else? I usually just use powder sugar and egg whites with peppermint ext for the horses to like the mint. HELP please
Hello, could you please share if you make both outline and flood consistency icing when you do cookies, OR if you prefer to work with just one more medium/versatile consistency for both your outline and flood?
Receta las cantidades por favor
Hi can egg whites be used instead of meringue powder?
Do u sift ur powered sugar? I always have to or I get chunks that clog my bags.
please post the biscuit recipe..
Will I be able to achieve this using a electric hand mixer?
Soy de Costa Rica no hablo inglés son preciosos sus trabajos ,no podría poner en español por lo menos los ingredientes
Hi! I found your channel through tik tok :) I’ve been wanting to make sugar cookies again and found ur recipe and was wondering if I can make the icing without a kitchen aide mixer? I have a hand mixer with a work attachement, will the icing turn out ok? Thanks!
@@thegracefulbaker Awesome, I'm going to make these this weekend! Thanks!
Hi, I really hope you will respond and help me. I just tried a different recipe although it was similar to your except didn’t whip the merengue and water first. The icing dried hard as a rock. Is that also caused from over beating? I would like the icing to be a little softer.
Could I use the cream of tartar instead meringue powder?
Can you store this in a plastic container for later use?
Will the stiff stage be perfect for assembling a gingerbread house?
Is this recipe good for chocolate sugar cookies? What if I don't use lemon but all water?
You have such a great voice!!
thank you so much!
Can I substitute meringue powder
im so excited to try this!! i wanted to make the beginner christmas cookies i saw on tiktok but i didnt know how to do the icing... Just one question, would pavlova magic work instead of the meringue powder??
Hi well I don't mean to badge in your comment but I find your words touching and I honestly love the way you express yourself. I hope this finds you well. And I hope to hear from you 😊❤❤❤❤❤
How many tbsps are 45gms of meringue powder?
Do you use pure icing sugar or starchy icing sugar ?
Does the lemon juice make the icing taste like lemon?
