Cookie decorating icing is most often Royal Icing. Here are two simple recipes for Royal Icing from my site:
Royal Icing with Meringue
4 cups confectioners' powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons meringue powder
1/2 teaspoon extract (vanilla, lemon or almond)
1/2 - 3/4 cup warm water
Royal Icing with Egg Whites
2 large egg whites - to be safe, use a ¼ cup of store bought egg white instead of cracking an egg
2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 cups, confectioners' powdered sugar, sifted
Beat all the ingredients a few seconds till all is moist then beat for about 10 minutes till completely smooth. Add sugar to thicken for piping borders and water to thin for filling interiors.

Can you make butter icing with royal icing sugar?
Royal icing and butter icing are completely different products. Royal icing is made with beaten egg whites (often as dry egg white powder) which break down when in contact with any fat or oil. Butter icing has a very high fat content, so the two types of icing are not compatible. If for some reason no sugar is available to make butter icing, it might be possible to reduce completely dry royal icing to a powder in a blender or food processor, then use that in place of powdered sugar for the butter icing. But that would be a very odd way of getting sugar by way of reverse engineering.
