I am making sugar cookies topped with MMF,detailed with Royal icing and packaged in Cello Bags. They will be for a baby shower this coming Saturday. I would like to bake the cookies and top them with the MMF tonight and finish with the Royal Icing decorations tomorrow night. Will they still taste fresh on Saturday? How should I store them? Or should I wait until closer to Saturday?

Thanks for everyones help in advance!

One more question... Will the MMF get lighter in color over the next couple of days if I do make them this evening?

thanks again!

Yes, in my opinion. From my experience once they are closed tightly in bags they for about a week. Just store them in a cool place. I just opened an extra cookie for my son from a party on 6/10 & it tasted great.

As for the MMF I haven't had an issue with it fading & I have used some bright colors.

Good luck!

I would freeze them, but not in the cello bags.

If you put them in cello bags they will absolutely stay fresh until Saturday (even longer). As MahalKita said, store them in a cool place and keep them out of direct sunlight.

The cookies should be fine but I have another question.
How exactly do you put MMF on the cookies? I have heard that it is best done right out of the oven. Also, does one brand work better than another? I usually use Satin Ice but I have access to Choco-Pan also.
Thanks!

What is choco pan??

How much white chocolate do you add? And thank you for answering.

I always back my sugar cookies atleast a week ahead for the royal to dry. I've done testing and in a bad they stayed fresh for weeks.
