Hey Ya'll,
I can't seem to figure out how my cookes turned out with dark spots on them. I used a SC recipe with Antonias icing. The cookies were cooled completely and the icing was made per the recipe. I made the icing red for Spiderman cookies. They all have little dark spots on them, maybe air bubbles trapped underneath the icing. I dunno! Have any of you ever had this happen? Any way of avoiding it next time?
Thanks so much!
Carol

When I've had this problem it was usually one of two things. I didn't mix my shortening long enough or my coloring was old. Since I started using Americolors I have not had this problem. I've also been told it can be caused from hard water and if this happens use bottled water or milk in your icing.
