I know someone knows in this group of great people! I'm making sugar cookies decorated w/icing. How long can I store them and how? Thanks!
I don't have an answer, I'm in the same boat so I want to keep an eye to responses you get...
I typically can keep them several weeks and they are fine (I use the NFSC recipe and Antonia's icing). I've never tried it myself, but...one of my boys ate a cookie favor that I did for a shower and my sister had saved for about two months and he said it was delicious!
wow thanks! so i can get started on some needed for the 11th!
do u think they would keep better if they were wrapped for favors?
Hi there!
I make NFSC with Antonia RI and they are wonderful! You can bake and decorate them, freeze them, I have for up to 3 weeks, take them out thaw them and viola! perfect soft sugar cookie! If you make them and freeze them make sure your icing is completely dry(wait 24 hrs) before packing them in a tupperware freezer safe type container layering them with wax paper inbetween each layer. To thaw just leave them in the container and leave them on the counter for an afternoon. That way the condensation goes to the wax paper. Good luck!!

mgigglin is the one that suggested it to me, I tried it, and loved it. I was making sugar cookies with RI for my daughter-in-law, who was having a shower while I was in New York having surgery. She said that they were perfect.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I wasn't there when she thawed them out. I just told her to take them out the morning of the shower. She said they were fine.
I did wait 24 hours after the dried and put wax paper between the layers. I have also done some orders the same way and took the cookies out of the freezer the morning they came to pick them up.
So far no complaints.
