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  ! |

No, yes and yes  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. |

the second one

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  |
