How Far In Advance Can I Make Decorated Cookies (Royal Iced)
Baking By shannonlovebug Updated 12 Sep 2017 , 3:26am by ypierce82
My DD's birthday is in 8 days. I'd really like to make the cookie favors today when I actually have time to do it. Will they get stale if I make them this far in advance? Can I freeze them after I ice them with the royal icing? Or will that ruin them? What does everyone else do in this situation?
Thanks!!
I was just looking for this answer. So here is a Bump.

Yes, you can freeze them. Just put wax paper or parchment paper between each layer, then put them in tupperware. When I take mine out of the freezer I spread them out on the counter to thaw. HTH.
I freeze my NFSC all the time! In fact, I almost plan that I will pop them in the freezer. I also layer them on wax paper in my tupperware, but to defrost them, I leave them in the container so all the condensation goes to the paper and not the icing. Oh and they even come out softer! Just make sure that you let your RI dry completely before stacking them. I usually wait a full day before putting them in the container.
HTH,

I have frozen my cookies that had dark colors on them, unthawed them, and there was no issue at all. Just leave the cookies in the container that you freeze them for a couple of hours. You want that condensation that will form from change in temp to be on the container, not the cookies.
