Rolled Buttercream on Cookies

I am making a large batch of cookies next week for a school event and want to try something new...rolled buttercream. I have a few questions:

Do they need to be made in advance (like if using royal or glace icing) to dry at all?

I believe I read that you can bag them; is that correct?

Does the surface dry enough to brush them w/luster dust to make them sparkle a bit?

Thanks for your insight thumbs_up.gif !

No, yes and yes icon_smile.gif You can detail with RI immediately after putting RBC onto cookie. I use a little karo syrup as 'glue'. I have tried the hot-from-the-oven method of making them stick, but they un-stuck later. Yes, I often brush with luster dust for sparkle. They bag just fine, done it many times

Great question! I've been thinking about trying rolled buttercream. I think I'm going to give it a shot this weekend.

You will love RBC. I always keep some on hand for those last-minute cookies, with no time to wait for flood to dry before detailing. I knead in more PS than it calls for, and roll it very thin (it's just so sweet) and stick it in the freezer for a few minutes to make it easier to lift it off to the cookie,

Shiney,
How long do they need to sit before bagging them or can they be bagged immediately?

Just about immediately, I let my RI detail dry first. I have found the last couple of times that I had to dust slightly with PS after they were on the cookie, but never had my RI not stick. I think it was just on hotter days that they got a little greasy.

If you look at my 'groovy thank you' and my 'heart dress with something extra' cookies on second page of my photos, you can see where I detailed with RI onto RBC

Cakediva, I use the recipe on CC, but I omit the oils and I use vanilla or almond extract.

I leave out the lemon oil and orange oil, and almost always knead in more PS than it calls for. I freeze any leftover, and it takes very little time to thaw, and I knead in more PS before I use it. It just seems to soak up lots of PS....however, if you do too much, you get my crazy desaster cake icon_rolleyes.gif
