Does this icing dry hard enough to stack cookies in a tin? Also how long do these cookies stay fresh. I bake a lot of cookies and don't often tackle the cut outs due to the decorating time but this look so pretty! I like how you are using just the self made round tip - no tips to wash! HI Liz, Yes, this icing dried quite hard, and it good for shipping decorated cookies. For edible cookies, you can make the cookies about a week ahead, and decorate over the course of a few days. For display cookies, you can make them several months ahead of time. Have fun! ~ MaryJane
