Ornamental Frosting
Low Calorie Recipe

Ingredients:
16 ounces powdered sugar
3 tablespoons meringue powder
1/3 cup warm water
1 teaspoon yellow paste icing color
1 teaspoon red paste icing color
1 teaspoon leaf green paste icing color

Recipe makes 48 servings Ornamental Frosting.

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, meringue powder, and water. Mix mixture for five minutes, or until it is so stiff that knife drawn through it leaves a clean-cut path. If desired, add coloring to frosting. With decorating bag, with small tip, decorate cookies with frosting. If mixture is too thick add a little more warm water to desired spreading or piping consistency. Keep frosting covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Decorate cookies as desired.

Notes: Yields: 3 cups (48 one tablespoon servings). Frosting may be stored in refrigerator in airtight container for up to one week (rebeat frosting slightly to make it spreadable).
