Hi,
OK I use the no fail cookie reciepe with Antonia 's icing..Lately since it has been humind and raining my cookies get soft, after I decorate them, and if they have detail it breaks off.( like the heart on the top of the wedding cake cookie cutter) 
Also if I pipe dots to decorate the wedding cake cookies, when I bag them, some of the dots come off..
I am more concerned about what I can add to the cookies to make them not so soft..Does anyone know?? It's not hot in my house, i have on the air, any tips would be GREAT!!! I have a big order for next week and I don't want soft cookies.....Thanks in advance!!!

I had the same problem with the no fail sugar cookies. It seemed as though the moisture from the icing was being absorbed into my cookies making them softer. I was doing a cookie bouquet and they kept breaking off of the stick (fortunatly I made extras). It was a gift for sometone and I ended up just laying them in a box. After that I went back to Martha's sugar cookie recipe.
cookies + humid weather =
I have a dehumidifier on 24/7 when cookies are drying in the summer and have to empty the machine a few times a week!
that's good to know...
sorry i can't help out----humid yeah, but bone dry, wishing it would rain
i'm glad to know (b/c i didn't) that cookies have attitudes, i'll have to remember that b/c i want to try some soon...
also can u decorate an oatmeal cookie, my DH doesn't like any other kind, prob. won't like them then, if they have icing on 'em--i was just thinking about father's day
Thank you so much Antonia 74!!! I love your cookies!! Great now I have to tell my husband I need a dehumidifier, I'll be getting that today!!! Thanks, again!!
Not sure about the oatmeal cookie..Maybe post a new topic and ask.. Thanks again..
