Hello all,
It's been sometime that I have been able to do some cookies due to a car accident and hurting my neck in 2015. My question is...my icing was to loose when I piped the words into the cookies and now when they dried it spread to much! Is there a way to scrape off the royal icing and start over with out damaging the baked cookie? These are for my son's wedding next Friday.
No way to know until you try, but I bet you can. Give one a try, you have nothing to loose.
i like to ice cookies with chocolate -- if you are good with chocolate let it set up then write with choco -- maybe just a thought -- but like sandra said, scraping it off should be fine
Thanks for the reply Sandrasmilely and k8memphis! I was able to scrape off of a bunch of cookies. I did make another batch of dough amd started over. Fingers crossed tomorrow when I try and write the icing stays firmer. I hate writing on cookies. Lol
I never thought of using chocolate! Cool idea!
test your icing on some of the scraped off cookies before you do the new cookies -- or test it on a cracker or a piece of toast or something -- get the icing right so you don't guess
another way to do sugar cookies, depending on what I needed, is to thin some of the cookie batter to piping consistency with milk or water -- and before baking, pipe on the design I wanted with a very fine point on the icing bag -- then freeze then bake -- then arrange the cookies on a rack on a sheet pan and glaze the whole lot at one time with a lemon juice glaze -- the design shows through --
please say how it's going 
when you get a chance
