is there a recipe for sugar cookies that will not mold etc?
i wanna add some "cookie dummies" to my shop.
when i worked at cookie bouquet in the 90's....it seems like i remember, that the bouquets lasted forever, like my son got a free one for his girlfriend , cause he took a day off work on valentines day to help them deliver, (of course they paid him too), and she never did eat it...it lasted a long time.
but i don't wanna take the chance of getting everything just right to have them mold on me.
Sugar cookies with royal shouldn't mold. No special recipe necessary.
People have shellacked my cookies, with apparently good success. I even read an article about spraying varnish on gingerbread to help preserve it, so it should work with cookies. You could also make the cookies out of salt dough (remember making ornaments in grade school out of the stuff?) I would think you could then ice the cookies with royal.
thanx guys...i hope i can do all this new stuff...i bought over 100 cookie cutters today....
i just felt like i need something new....they look so cute on cakes.
you guys all like the NFSC recipe?
Have you tried using the christmas cookie recipe. I think it uses salt instead of sugar.
I use the NFSC all the time. I love it.

I made cookies for the first time last week and used the NFSC. Maybe I'm spoiled with chocolate chip cookies, but I didn't like the way they tasted. They were delightful to make and work with, loves that part!
However, my family liked the way they tasted.
i made a few for a display and used styrofoam than used fondant w gumtex and royal icing to decorate them up..i used my ocookie cutters to cut thru the styrofoam but i also got a styro cut for some of the harder cutters, i pressed them just enough to imprint the styrofoam than went back with the cutter to make smoother edges...hth
I don't like the NFSC recipe. I much prefer Penny's recipe. It has heavy cream in it and the texture is so much better.
I made both side by side with the same exact amount of flavoring and Penny's won with everyone who tried them.
I have never had them mold on me.. and I've found some here and there (kids do love to forget they put that cookie down a month ago 
) and they were dried out.. but never moldy.
HTH's a little. 
Hey littlecake, where did you end up buying your cookie cutters?
since i'm a cookie newbie, i just bought about every one they had a obby lobby when i went in to get a few other things, i was surprised they had so many, i know they aren't a good quality, but i figgered they would be good to practice with.
My friend just found a cookie in her china cabinet that was from a birthday party 8-9 years ago. It looked exactly the same. So much so that she had to yank it away from her grandson who was getting ready to take a bite! I'm hoping to see the picture of what an eight year old cookie looks like!
NFSC means No Fail Sugar Cookie. It is a recipe that many people on here use
I also use Penny's recipe. They are very similar, but I just like Penny's better. I believe I got the reicpe from a website that was like an article on her (it was a long time ago). I believe you might be able to google it.
I also have cookies from years ago, stored in the garage, so they should last just fine.
