Resist the urge to double the recipe! This recipe makes more than you might think.
A really great frosting that makes the right amount for one batch of cookies. I added my own natural/vegetarian light blue coloring (from boiled purple cabbage/baking soda) and added to frosting. No hint of vegetable taste but beautiful powdery blue. Sublime!
I doubled the sugar cookie recipe (for neighborhood cookie gifting), so I doubled this. Luckily (?) I'd overcooked a couple trays of the sugar cookies, so the double batch was just enough for all the good cookies...but wouldn't have been enough for the double batch. I'll make more next time.
Need to beat eggs before adding sugar. Not a successful recipe for me when I combined sugar and egg first. Too thick, not shiny. Thinned w spicy water and root beer
Need to whip eggs before adding sugar. Not successful for me when I combined egg and sugar first
What do I use to mix the egg whites and sugar—spoon, whisk, hand mixer? (I’m a casserole cook, anything remotely to do with baking and I am at less than novice level!)
