  3. Outline cookies with icing and allow borders to set briefly.
  4. Flood centers with thinner icing for a smooth decorative finish.

Notes

For softer cookies, store them in airtight containers shortly after cooling. For crispier cookies, allow extra drying time before storing. Freeze undecorated cookies for up to 2 months and decorate after thawing. Handle decorated cookies carefully during assembly. Customize flavors with vanilla, almond, lemon, or strawberry extracts. Store decorated cookies in airtight containers for up to 1 week.
