I have been trying to figure out a recipe to pour of my cookies. I have seen it and tried it, it isn't royal.... someone else around here who does cakes said it was powdered sugar, 1 egg white and flavoring... does this even sound right? I can't fathom how that would make a poured icing. The ones I have seen are done about 1/8 thick of icing per cookie and it completely covers the cookie and it isn't sheer. They then go back and use BC for decorations... any tips or suggestions?

Royal icing is egg white and powdered sugar. People use meringue powder in place of egg white to reduce the risk of getting ill from raw eggs.

hmmmmm well this is definitely not royal because it is still chewable and not hard, guess she was wrong. Thanks though.

Is it a piped icing? I mean, can you see the outline on the edge of the cookie? If there is no outline, then it is rolled fondant, which is why it is soft and chewy.

no not piped, it is poured... it isn't fondant I know that for sure.... it is a poured icing and dries non sheer and looks like it is about 1/8 inch ratio to the cookie in thickness.

Is it Antonia74 royal icing. Her recipe is a bit sweeter than regular royal and dries beautifully.

Lori, don't know if you found it yet, but what you are looking for is a glaze made with powedered sugar, water, flavoring and corn syrup. This galze is left to dry for 24 hours and becomes dry but very palatable. It's actually my kids favorite for cookies.

Try to check a recipe for poured fondant icing (as opposed to a rolled fondant which is used for cakes), that's normally used to ice cookies and dries with a finish just like the one you're describing. HTH icon_biggrin.gif [/i]
