  Categories: Holidays, Frostings
       Yield: 2 Cups
  
       1 lb Confectioners' sugar
       3 lg Egg whites
     1/2 ts Cream of tartar
            Paste or powdered food
            -coloring (opt.)
  
   1. In medium-size bodwl, with electric mixer, combine sugar, egg
   whites, and cream of tartar just until well mixed. At high speed,
   beat mixture until thick and fluffy.
   
   2. Cover frosting tightly with a damp towel or plastic wrap while us-
   ing. If desired, to color frosting, divide into small bowls and mix
   in food coloring.
   
   Note: This frosting is used not only to decorate or spread onto
   cookies but also as an adhesive. Because of current health concerns
   about salmonella in raw eggs, frosting on cookies that will be eaten
   should be made from meringue powder instead of egg whites following
   package instructions. For purely decorative cookies, we prefer this
   egg-white frosting over the meringue-powder version because of its
   stronger gluing property.
