When I first started decorating cookies, I used raw egg whites in my royal icing, but I started getting nervous. Not nervous for me, but for other people who might eat the cookies. About 9 years ago, I discovered meringue powder and I haven't looked back.
Does the brand of meringue powder matter? Yes. These are 2 of my favorites:

- Williams-Sonoma brand (made by CK)
- Ateco, available at bakery supply shops or Amazon
- AmeriColor
- CK

{That said, if you are experiencing a cookie decorating emergency, you have my blessing to use the other stuff.} ;)
Gail of One Tough Cookie uses powdered egg whites with fantastic results. She even has a vlog post about it if you want to learn more.
What do YOU use to make royal icing?
{Psst....here is the royal icing recipe I use if you're ready to make some of your own.}
