How to Make Nelson Cookie Bake Rolled Cookie Piped Icing

  1. Prepare the Royal Icing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 large egg whites, and 1-2 tablespoons of water until smooth and glossy. The consistency should be firm enough that when you lift a spoon, the icing holds its shape.
  2. Test the Icing Consistency: If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, one teaspoon at a time. If it's too thick, add water, one drop at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
  3. Divide and Color the Icing: Separate the icing into several small bowls. Add a few drops of different gel food colorings to each bowl, mixing until you achieve your desired colors for decorating.
  4. Prepare Piping Bags: Fill decorating bags fitted with various tips (e.g., star, round) with the colored icing.
  5. Decorate the Cookies: Once your cookies are completely cool, pipe festive designs, names, or messages onto them. Let the icing set completely before stacking and storing.
  6. Bake the Cookies (Instructions for the cookies themselves would need to be added here. This part of the recipe is currently missing from the original prompt and will need to be added as a separate section for a complete recipe).
