Hi all, I am a favorite of the No Fail Sugar Cookies and have used royal and Toba's glace icing on them. Have heard great things about Alice's cookie icing. Can the cookies be bagged with Alice's icing? and if anyone else has tried Toba's glace, do you like it better?

Thanks much,
Naty thumbs_up.gif

PS. Is there a recipe for a Chocolate No Fail Sugar Cookies?

Alices's ising will dry hard enough to bag the cookies, it just takes a little longer. Toba Garret's glace' is simple, dries a bit slower.

I have used both with success. I think I like Alice's for taste.

I agree with JoAnnB Aice's cookie icing is so good I could and have ,eaten it by the spoonful and I also have iced a Cinnamon Spice swirl cake with it. It really is that good. icon_lol.gif

I have used alice's every time that I made cookies, but I have never been able to bag them without squishing the frosting. I love the tase of aloce's and I always let it dry for like 2 days or so, but they never dry enough for me to bag 'em. Am I doing something wrong?

Kelly,

I had the same experience with Alice's icing and the Glace icing. They just never really dried enough for me to pack up the cookies. They both taste good though.

Anybody have a suggestion about that?

Are you thinning your Alice cookie icing as suggested on the recipe posted on this site?

Have you tried using Antonia's icing recipe with the No Fail Sugar cookies. It tastes great and dries really well.

Yeah, royal icing works really well. I just made my first batch and posted pix of my butterflies in the August Cookie Theme thread. It dried very pretty and then I figured out that it even freezes well once dried. I flavored it w/lemon...yummmm.

What tip is best for icing w/royal? I used a 3 and my outlines are pretty thick. It's the smallest I have right now, need to buy smaller tips.
