You can also put fondant on a cookie and stack it.

I prefer RBC on cookies to fondant, but it is a much softer consistency, so you may have trouble stacking the cookies, unless you bag them and leave a little air in the bag to create a pocket of air around it to protect it from the cookie next to it.

I use Alice Cookie icing almost exclusively on my cookies. I bag them, tag them and stack them without a problem.

As for drying, my cookies are fully dry in about 4-5 hours but I let them stand overnight for be completely sure that I wont have any dents or smudges. This will vary with the mount of moisture in the air and also how much water was added to recipe will greatly affect the drying time of the icing.

I recently made 100 cookies with RBC and royal. I left them to dry for a few hours then bagged them and stacked them in boxes for transportation. They were then added to large goody bags with lots of other items. No breakage or damage and everyone raved about them! No problems at all! I prefer RBC because it is so easy to use and looks professional and perfect. It is also softer and tastier than fondant.
