I've been reading your blog for some time now, but have never left a comment. But these cookies are so beautiful that I couldn't keep quiet. I have always (and I do mean ALWAYS) wanted to make and decorate this type of cookie. I would love to make a royal icing, but meringue powder isn't available where I live. (I don't think you deliver to Mexico.) I read somewhere that I could substitute real egg whites for the meringue powder. (I have no problem with raw egg.) My question is this....How many egg whites would I have to use to make the royal icing? Leslie - Thank you for visiting our blog. We love to hear from our customers. KAF does, in fact, deliver to Mexico. Here is a royal icing recipe using egg white. It is from our 200th Anniversary Cook book. 1 egg white, 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Beat all of the ingredients until it forms peaks. Elisabeth @ KAF
