Have a upcoming event where I'll be making 200+ sugar cookies for a fundraiser. Printed out the NFSC recipe. I want to top the cookies with a decoration (flat) and cannot decide which would be better with our humidity. I was thinking of flooding the cookies and using the rubber stamp method with food grade gel color/alcohol to stamp the image on top. Or stamping the image on top of fondant (massa ticino) or having icing sheets with the image printed on them and adhering with? I have to ship the cookies and make sure they stay intact.
This won't be until September but wanted to glean some expert opinions as I like to plan ahead. Just need the cookies to survive the humidity and shipping and look nice for the fundraiser. They will also be on sale in a humid environment though I'm sure it will be air conditioned too. Any tips would certainly be appreciated.
Oops, never mind! Found the Glace icing recipe here for cookies and that sounds like the best to use.
The corn syrup glace icing is the most delicious tasting...by far. The cheapest and easiest. If you're trying to make a white coating you'll need to put some 'white' food coloring in it.
Good Luck.
Thank you for your input, greatly appreciate it. I just ordered the Americolor white gel coloring
in the process of my gf making several thousand cookies for obviously a huge order-- she sent test cookies all over the nation and i got one too --it arrived in a white paper one thin layer regular business envelope -- it was wrapped in plastic and it arrived perfect-- that recipe is unbeatable --
i was shocked that she didn't use any packing materials but she cut them nice & thick and who knew they were that sturdy -- mailed from kentucky to tn - 300 - 400 miles --
so that's a thought for you -- make up a batch and send them to friends as a test

Wow, what a testament to the recipe that a single cookie would survive shipping. I think they will hold up OK. I have shipped cookies before, just not sugar cookies and not in this volume. I will make a note to cut them somewhat thick (thank you kindly for that tip). Thousands of cookies? Can well imagine how long that took.
PS Love your sig line
