Everyone knows how to decorate cookies with meringue, can you tell me about it?

Some friends reported that they don’t know how to decorate cookies with liquid meringue. Usually my method is to use a piping bag to extrude the basic shape first, and then apply more liquid icing after the outline is dry. . The cookies made with this method not only have a smooth surface, but also can be added with other decorations after drying. More importantly, they are easy to learn and full of fun.

When tracing the outline of the cookie, you need to use a piping bag and softer meringue. Mix the egg whites and powdered sugar and beat until dry foam (that is, when the mixer is lifted up and the wet egg white foam will not drip down), add a few drops of water to dilute it, and stir slowly until it can be formed just right when extruded. Frosting that is too thick will stick when decorating, making it difficult to work with. To achieve the desired effect, test the consistency of the frosting by squeezing out lines on the work surface beforehand. If it’s too thick, add water; if it’s too thin, add powdered sugar.

Put the mixed meringue into a piping bag. Stop the piping nozzle 12 mm above the cookie and start tracing the outline. This distance allows you to squeeze out the lines smoothly without breaking.

For the liquid meringue, I used a squeeze vase. Compared with the piping nozzle, the advantage of using this bottle is that you don't have to worry about liquid icing flowing out of the piping nozzle at any time, and excess icing can also be stored inside.

I usually let the cookies sit overnight to dry before decorating.

The following materials are required:

Ordinary cookies, meringue (thin and liquid), food coloring, piping tips, piping bags, squeezing vase , spatula, pin (for pricking bubbles), small brush (for contour modification).

Step 1: Use softer and thinner meringue to trace the outline on the cookie and let it sit for a few minutes.

Step 2: Pour liquid meringue into the squeeze bottle, squeeze it downwards gently, and spread it all over the surface of the cookie from the outside to the inside. If bubbles appear in the middle, pop them with a pin. Make sure that the icing just covers the cookie, and do not squeeze too much to cause the icing to overflow from the edges.

After completion, let it sit for one night, and then decorate it with flowers. For example, you can sprinkle some colored powdered sugar on the surface of the cookie or trace the pattern with icing sugar.
