I think my baking powder was bad. Once I got some new (and prayed hard for a better result), my new batches were beautiful. Now to make something with all of the cookie "crumbs" from the other batches...

I know you can freeze sugar cookies to keep them fresh. But I was wondering if you can freeze sugar cookies with the royal icing on them? Or can I just keep them on the counter? I will be making them five days in advance. Hi Annie,

Your cookies are beautiful. After the holidays I need to work on perfecting my cookie decorating and flooding skills. What a great tutorial. Your cookies are beautiful.

You could also use a funnel but I probably wouldn't go that far.

I am just concerned about them drying out. this may sound like a silly question (and I apologize, but this will be my first crack at royal icing!) – when you let the first layer of icing set, before you put the details on with the second layer, is it okay to leave them out on a cooling rack overnight? or should you put them in a plastic container (single layer, not stacked of course)?
