Place cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet about 1 inch apart from each other. Bake in a preheated oven at 400F for 6-8 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Move cookies to a wire rack and cool completely.

In a bowl, beat the meringue powder and water with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar while beating, until you get the desired consistency. The icing should be liquid but not too runny. Reserve about 2-3 tablespoons of icing. Put the rest of the icing in a piping bag or a squeeze bottle with a piping tip. Carefully squeeze the icing onto each cookie, starting on the outer edge and working your way in. Cover the whole surface with icing, you can use a toothpick to spread it out. Gently tap the cookie up and down to remove any air bubbles. Let cookies stand until icing hardens.
