📝 INSTRUCTIONS
Royal Icing Preparation:
1️⃣ Sift powdered sugar into a large bowl to ensure a smooth, lump-free base.
2️⃣ Add egg whites or meringue powder at room temperature to optimize volume.
3️⃣ Blend the sugar and binder on low speed, gradually adding warm water to form a cohesive icing.
4️⃣ Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract for flavor and add food coloring if desired.
5️⃣ Once mixed, transfer the icing to piping bags, ensuring cookies are cool before application.

Flooding Cookies With Royal Icing:
6️⃣ Cut a small tip on your piping bag for precise thicker icing application, ideal for outlining.
7️⃣ Outline cookies with this thicker icing to form borders that will contain the flood icing.
8️⃣ Allow the outlines to dry slightly to create a barrier that holds the flood icing.
9️⃣ Cut a larger tip for the flood icing, ensuring control over the flow.
🔟 Flood the cookie centers and push the icing toward the outlines without overpassing them.
1️⃣1️⃣ Tap the cookie gently to settle the icing and remove air bubbles.
1️⃣2️⃣ Use a toothpick to navigate the icing into tight spaces and pop remaining air bubbles.
1️⃣3️⃣ Optionally, use a heat gun to quickly set the icing, providing a hard, glossy finish.
