Personally I would recommend you stick with the Royal Icing. It's MUCH easier to work with because glaze does not stay where you tell it to stay or go where you want it to go. Royal does what you tell it to do ;-) I use a glaze icing because it's what I've done for 15 years and my kids won't have it any other way otherwise, believe me, I would make the switch.Cristin (Pinkie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00106231154164038320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042646959619786045.post-1939953831355450002011-08-11T12:43:26.167-07:002011-08-11T12:43:26.167-07:00Can I ask what you use?

I'm not a Royal Icing expert in the slightest, but yes, it sounds like maybe it was a bit too thick or maybe you didn't spread it quickly enough. Either way it will be perfectly fine. I try to wait about 8 hours to add colors to white, but I won't have that option today either since I haven't even started on my cookies yet! Wait long enough for the color to set and then decorate on. When your cookies are all done, take a photo just in case tomorrow the colors start to bleed. Either way, it's all a learning process and we're having fun doing it together!Cristin (Pinkie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00106231154164038320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042646959619786045.post-20546324826775369432011-08-11T12:05:18.572-07:002011-08-11T12:05:18.572-07:00Cristen,

Took me forever. ;) <br />I then made the Royal Icing. I covered them all in white but they look a tad lumpy ........... um could it be that it was too thick so the icing couldn't lay flat? <br />Am I right that I have to wait about 3 or 4 hours before I can put the eyes, nose and bows on?<br />I hope to be more organized the more I keep trying. <br />Thanks a bunch,<br />SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634678963382222888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042646959619786045.post-28011157342974252282011-08-10T23:13:53.224-07:002011-08-10T23:13:53.224-07:00Cristin,

As far as how long to bake, that depends on your recipe. I bake mine for 12 minutes. I would say just until the edges start to brown. As far as how to decorate, that's up to you. You can not outline at all and do the entire cookie white and then ice the bow and details a different color on top of the white or you can outline the whole thing separately. You can also try a few different ways and see which you prefer best. I'm hoping to bake mine today, but have been swamped with a work project so it's not likely. Just have fun with them Susie. I can't wait to see them!Cristin (Pinkie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00106231154164038320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042646959619786045.post-59127968689680714982011-08-10T15:25:54.347-07:002011-08-10T15:25:54.347-07:00Cristin, I am going to start the challenge cookies...Cristin, I am going to start the challenge cookies tomorrow. I have only done sugar cookies once and that was years ago. So you put an outline around the whole cookie and around the bow, eyes and nose. Then do I flood it with say white but not the bow, eyes and nose and do those next?<br />I'm really not sure how long to bake them either. <br />Thanks,<br />SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634678963382222888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042646959619786045.post-85291403561500694902011-08-09T22:28:16.749-07:002011-08-09T22:28:16.749-07:00@SweetSugarBelle Thanks Callye!

I usually make my cookie dough the day before I'm going to roll it, but I've had it in the fridge for a couple days before and it's perfectly fine. I would think you should be fine with leaving it in the fridge til you're ready to bake. I know a lot of people bake at night so that it doesn't warm up the house too much in the summer.

It looks ok but don't know if it will keep it's shape while cutting the dough. I found it formed better than the soda can I tried first. :)<br />I won't be baking until it cools. How long can the dough stay chilling in the fridge before you cut and bake???????
