How to Make Meringue Powder Glaze

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the meringue powder and water until smooth and no lumps remain.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, whisking continuously until a thick, glossy glaze forms.
  3. If the glaze is too thick, add more water, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  4. If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Dip the cooled sugar cookies into the glaze, ensuring they are fully coated.
  6. Let the excess glaze drip off, then place the cookies on a wire rack to allow them to set completely.
  7. Once the glaze has set, your cookies are ready to serve and enjoy!
