Thank you dear Heather @Heather Bruce Sosa, I'm glad you like it. I made this about two months ago, and I honestly can't remember how long it took. I only know that it took hours . . . as do most of my cookies. 😁

Oh wow. This is remarkable Christine. Absolutely amazing.

Given the amount of time you spend on your cookies, do you ever have problems with the cookies softening or crumbling? (asking for a friend 😂)

Wow!!! Gorgeous 👏👏👏👏

@LisaF You mean the amount of time I spend on one cookie? 😂 Since my cookies aren't meant to be eaten, they sit out for days (sometimes weeks) and don't soften or crumble, although I prefer them to "dry out" as much as possible. My other cookies that are a couple of years old tend to crumble but the icing holds them together.

Lol. Yes, I do mean the time spent on one/each cookie. I asked because in the cookies I use for the challenges, when they aren’t meant to be eaten, I sometimes have softening/crumble issues. I think I’m going to try baking them longer this time.

@LisaF Sorry, I thought you were talking about the cookies you donate. 😅 For my cookie art, I am mindful not to underbake my cookies. I roll between plastic wrap, so I'm not adding extra flour either. I also keep my cookies sitting out the entire time.  I never put them in a container where they can soften up. I also prefer them to sit out (dry out) for several days before I add icing.

Ahhh. Thanks so much for the insight. There’s always so much to learn!
