I hand paint cookies after flooding them with royal icing. I've been searching, and wasting many batches of new recipes without finding the perfect one.
Here is my dilemma....
1) one recipe spread so much you couldn't tell what the shape was.
2) next recipe was perfect, tasted wonderful, but right around the 2nd week, they were stale.
3) another recipe held it's shape but puffed up quite a bit and stayed too soft. Unless they were presented on a flat surface and in one layer, they broke.
4) yet another was already stale in a few days.
What I'm looking for is a sugar cookie that is soft only on the inside but the outside is crispy and firm... it has to hold it's shape and be able to last a couple of weeks.
Am I dreaming? lol
