I made cookies lastnight and the icing was really hard to get piped out after like 10 cookies. It was nice and thin when I put it in the bag. I cleaned the tip and it didn't help.

Any ideas why the icing got so thick so soon?

I don't know for sure, haven't used a lot of it but did you let them sit out for awhile switching colors? Hope someone can help!

That's weird. It should actually get ever so slightly thinner as you pipe all the icing from your bag...as the warmth from your hands heats it slightly.

Hmmm....the only thing I can think of was that I wasn't using a plastic bag. It's Martha bag that is like treated cloth or something. I'll try the same recipe with an all plastic bag and see if that helps.

Thanks!
