Ingredients
  

  • 4 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Oz Aquafaba The brine from a can of white Cannellini beans
  • 1 tbsp Water
  • 1 Tbsp Fresh squeezed lemon
  • 2 Tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Long piece Aluminum Foil

Instructions
 

  • In a stand mixer and whisk attachment, mix Aquafaba (bean brine) lemon juice, water and vanilla for 5 minutes until it begins to foam. Start with a speed of 4. After 2.5 minutes increase the speed to an 8.
  • Next I add the powdered sugar. Before turning the mixer back on, place a long piece of aluminum foil around the bowl to block the powder sugar from flying out of the bowl while it is being mixed.
  • Make sure to occasionally scrape down the bowl several times to include all the powder sugar.
  • Check consistency and add more liquid if necessary in the form of water, lemon juice or other flavoring.
  • Add food color (**Please note, if your food color is a liquid please add the color before adding any other additional liquid). You may need to also add more powdered sugar to make sure your icing is not too runny.
  • Decorate your cookies, let them dry completely and enjoy!
