Will Moisture From A Slice Of Bread (To Soften Cookies) Soften Dried Royal Icing On A Finished Cookie?

Hi! New here and I've read so many wonderful tips on this site but this is my first post! :)
I have frantically searched for an answer because I'm in a bind! I need to ship out cookies tomorrow morning and they seem hard/stale. I've never had that happen before! I'm assuming it's because of the snowflake cookie shape (so many edges?) Not much cookie compared to the edges.
ANYWAY...to my actual question! if I stick the cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread, will the moisture from the bread ruin the royal icing (made with meringue powder) on the decorated cookies? Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks so much!
I seriously don’t think so Depends how many cookies vs bread It should just soften the cookies —not the icing At least not as much as to ruin the design Might cause a problem if you pressed on the icing as soon as they are taken out/removed How many cookies and how many slices of bread? For a dzn cookies I’d suggest 2 slices of bread Be aware you probably will not be able to reply to any post so just make a new one referring to whatever you are replying to in the subject line Example replying to this one title it “softening cookies pt 2” or something like that
