I test it by running a knife through the middle of the icing- you should see the icing separate but flood back within a few seconds. Or, if you drizzle it with a fork the icing should be thin enough to continuously stream off the fork, but thick enough to hold a drizzle shape on a surface. - Add food coloring as desired and pipe onto cookies. Allow to dry for at least 3 hours on a sheet pan, or until hard enough to stack.
