Can I Use Royal Icing Instead?
Here in my royal icing recipe I use when I do sugar cookies. We are the type that loves to do both a soft frosting and royal icing. So depending on the design we want we bounce back and forth.
Storing Cookies
Refrigerate – Any cookies you are going to eat, store in the fridge. The cream cheese in the frosting needs to be refrigerated or it will spoil at room temperature.
Freezing – You can freeze any cookies you don’t eat right away. Store in a freezer bag with air removed or container. The cookies will store 3-4 months.
