Hi, I made the Eaaster egg cookies and they turned out beautiful but the frosting stuck to your teeth when you bit into the cookie. And, they remained too sticky to stack. My husband stacked them after nearly 36 hours of drying and they all stuck together. What did I do wrong? I'd like to try the icing technique again but am hesitant. Could I use my regular buttercream icing if I made it thinner?
Hi Janet,
It sounds like the icing may have been a bit too wet. Be sure to mix on low speed for a few minutes to incorporate the ingredients well rather than adding more water too soon. Buttercream doesn't really work well for this technique, sorry.
