Kool Aid Sugar Cookies

¾ cup shortening

1 stick unsalted butter or margarine, softened

2/3 cup sugar

1 cup pre-sweetened Kool-Aid, your favorite flavor

2 eggs

3 cups all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon salt

2 ½ teaspoons baking powder

Cream shortening, butter, sugar, and Kool-Aid together with a mixer. Add eggs, combine well. In a separate bowl, sift together remaining ingredients and add carefully to sugar mixture. Mix well. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Roll dough carefully to ¼ inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Bake at 375° for 7-10 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cool on a wire rack, and enjoy the delicious flavored sugar cookies!

Royal Icing

1 box confectioners' sugar (1 pound)
5 tablespoons meringue powder or 2 large egg whites

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine sugar and meringue powder. Mixing on low speed, add a scant 1/2 cup water. For a thinner consistency, usually used for flooding, add more water. A thicker consistency is generally used for outlining and adding details. Mix until icing holds a ribbon-like trail on the surface of the mixture for 5 seconds when you raise the paddle.
