How can I get my basic cookie icing bright-white?!
Answers:
Omit the vanilla and use almond extract instead. Vanilla is brown and the almond is clear.
Use either lard or shortening for the fat and you can get clear Vanilla flavoring as well and use only white milk...not evaporated.
Lots of experience
Make a 7 minute frosting, it's very white.

Use clear vanilla extract and add meringue powder, use water instead of milk. The bst cookie icing is a thinned royal icing.
The vanilla extract is he culprit. Leave it out, or use a colorless extract like orange, mint, lemon, or almond
