Very Hard Royal Icing - Normal?

SnowfairyNibbler

I'm very new to cookie decorating so this might just be how royal icing hardens.

I've only done royal icing and decorated cookies a handful of times but I love it and I love how pretty the cookies turn out.

The problem I have is that the icing dries very hard on the cookies and I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if in fact this is the way royal icing dries?

I wish there was more interest in cookie decorating in Iceland. The only decorated cookies I have ever seen are at Christmas and then only gingerbread cookies in the shape in trees and other Christmas items with white outlines. Quite boring compared to all the cookies I've googled and the few I've made myself
