Hi Julia, thanks for your reply! Yes, looks like I could do this a couple of ways. Next step is that I need to investigate how much frosting is required for a batch. Dotty Raleigh of Sugar Dot's eBook will really help with this. She has a great eBook I recently purchased called, "How Much Icing to Make" that I found fascinating and highly recommend. I always struggled with how much icing to make but she has a mathematical solution to this issue. Now it is time to experiment and determine just how much I will need! Enjoy your weekend!

Great! I just weighed a typical cookie before and after it was iced (the difference being the weight or quantity of icing used), and then added a small overage for loss in bowls and bags. If you weigh everything, it should be pretty straightforward to determine average quantities used.
