I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but does anyone know why when I put dots on my cookies they sometimes fall off?

This one's got my puzzled!

Thanks!

It might help to know what the dots are made of.

too dry (stiff) icing--- needs to be wet enough to "glue" on, I bet

I've had the problem of dots falling off also. The consistency might be too stiff but when it's thinner, the dots spreads too much. It's a delima (sp?).

"johnson6ofus" is right. Your icing is too dry. You have to hit that perfect middle point of it not being to dry or not being too wet/liquid. Good luck!
