Reply to "Trouble with Soggy Cookies and Rippling with Dehydrator"

If you wait until you have the tray full before putting the tray in the dehydrator, that could be part of the problem.  The first cookies on the tray are already partially set.  Just picking the tray up and moving it into the DH at that point might be enough to cause rippling.  I decorate right in front of the DH and move each cookie into the DH with a spatula immediately after it is iced and still totally wet. It takes seconds to pop a wet cookie in the DH. No ripples, less craters, more shine & flatter flooded surface.   It's all good.  Just passing along a tip I learned from a good cookier friend.
