How quickly does the icing set up? Do you have to try to work quickly? Does is get rock hard?
These look so pretty. I attended one of your classes last year and saw you make similar cookies, I seem to recall lovely spring flowers.
Hi Fran,
You don't have to panic and rush, but don't dawdle either. You really do need to work one cookie at a time, no assembly line here. I'd say the cookies are workable for about 3 minutes each, and are dry in about 45-60. These cookies don't really get rock hard like gingerbread w/ icing, they are more pliable, but you could stack them with parchment between for travel.
I remember the spring flowers too! ~ MaryJane
