I baked "rolled" cookies and they don't suck. It's a miracle!

I had visions of frosted cookies, only the recipes I keep finding for Royal Icing call for "meringue powder", which Safeway apparently doesn't carry. And my "Gourmet Cooking for Idiots" doesn't have anything. (yes, it's THAT series with the bright yellow cover). My Food Companion only describes it but does not provide suggestions on how to deal with this (do I whip up some meringue, bake it and then crush it? Oh hell.. that's too much work)

So...I'm surfing the net for something I can use. Right now it's a race between the folks snacking on the (Mickey Mouse shaped gingerbread and sugar) cookies (2 kids, 1 husband, 2 inlaws) and my ability to halt them in time to frost the cookies. It's all good... I mastered making my own mojitos last weekend. Turns out I have a muddler! Who knew! So... sipping and surfing and hoping to get some cookies frosted before they are gone.

Happy Holidays to all. Be safe. Be calm. Be kind.
