I want to make this, but I don't want to refrigerate the cookies. With 3/8 cup milk, it seems like I should. Anyone with experience out there?

According to her book, made with water it will last in the fridge 3 weeks. Made with milk, two weeks. Iced cookies don't need to be refrigerated.

according to toba herself (and from personal experience) decorated cookies should never be refrigerated!!! that's one of the reasons the colors get splotchy. the corn syrup doesn't like the humidity. i refrigerate just the icing. i have also swithced to water instead of milk. there's really no taste difference

Thank you. I think that the water vs. milk was more what I wanted to know. I guess it's time to try it!

The only time I used water in the recipe instead of milk, my colors bled together. So now I 'm gun-shy and just stick with skim milk. The high sugar content will keep the milk from spoiling, according to another website.
