Hi, how do you packed the cookies with the buttercream on? Especially if I want to give to someone as a gift. Thanks.

[theauberginechef]

@wad95 - Unfortunately, it's very difficult to ship or package buttercream because the decoration gets messed up. I've heard that using a little egg white or meringue powder will allow the buttercream to crust so it will hold up better to handling. Otherwise let them dry out at room temperature and place them on a single layer on a platter. You might be able to stack them one tier high especially if you use meringue powder.

to much talk!!

@zadithivette74  agree !

is it important to refregerate the cookie after applying the outline in order to make the outline dry?

[theauberginechef]

@TheSodiumgal - Nope and actually I would say that refrigeration may make the cookie softer too because of the humidity in the fridge. If your royal icing is stiff, then by the time you finish piping your cookie's outlines the first cookie should be ready to go. Stiff royal icing dries in no time - it's the flooding that can take a little while.

Ok I'm a lil lost on your buttercream how much in cup measurements do you use?

[theauberginechef]

@Villagrana06 - I always use weights in my recipes because weights are consistent. But I will try and convert it here: Powdered sugar: 1 3/4 cup; butter 1 TBSP; Shortening 4.5 TBSP
