I applied two coats of luster dust to some cookies and after sitting over night they are still very sticky.  Why are they not drying?  I placed them in front of a fan about an hour ago but I fear drying the cookie out.  It is not that humid here as I am in Az.  Any suggestions, ideas and/or tips would be appreciated.

What did you use to mix with the luster? Vodka? Water? Extract? Might be the problem if you used water? I use vodka and it dries in a couple of hours.

Is it a new brand?I don't know how to help you, it has to dry sooner or later so hang tight.

I always dry dust my luster, unless I airbrush a pearl finish too sometimes. But I like the lustre sheen better by dusting.

Typically I use almond extract for luster and disco dust, personally. 

By disco dust do you mean the really glittery, non-toxic/non-edible glitters? I usually just use that on wet icing and let it dry (because I have no qualms with eating plastic if it makes my cookies pretty haha). 

 

How does the glitter mix with the extract? I would think it would be too gritty, instead of making a paint texture with the lustre dusts. Hopefully that made some bit of sense haha.
