Reply to "Fine Cracks in Icing"

Oh, you dip your cookies - I think that is probably the issue! My guess is that as any wet icing continues to flow drip off the cookie sides, some of the drier icing on top gets "pulled", if you will, and tiny cracks open up. I've seen this happen on certain curved shapes that I create. (Cracking is worse on some shapes than others.) Usually by the time the icing dries, the cracks are hardly noticeable and easily obscured with other decorations, so I don't worry about them too much.

I bet if you piped the same icing on top and let the cookies dry without moving them, you wouldn't see cracks. Have you tried this?
