Is cookie icing the same as royal icing?
Cookie icing can be used in the same way that royal icing can; however, it doesn’t dry as hard as royal icing does. It’s great for flooding cookies or piping designs into wet icing. Cookie icing does need time to set, but it should be ready in under an hour.
What’s the difference between royal icing and regular icing?
The biggest difference between, say, buttercream frosting and royal icing is texture: buttercream is creamy and soft; royal icing hardens to a candy-like texture. Royal icing is as edible as the cookies and cakes it can cover.

How long can cookies with royal icing sit out?
Once the cookies have completely dried, they can be stored either in an airtight container with waxed paper in between each layer, or in an airtight bag in a single layer. You can store them at room temperature for up to one week.
Can you leave frosted cookies out overnight?
Most homemade cookies will maintain their taste and texture for up to 3 days. If you leave them out for too long, the cookies begin to harden or dry out. To prevent cookies from becoming stale, cover them with plastic wrap or keep in an airtight container.
How do you store cookies with icing?
If you’re trying to store decorated cookies, make sure to layer them between wax or parchment paper after the decorating icing has completely hardened. Bar cookies, like brownies or blondies, should always be baked before storing. They will freeze well, but should be frozen in the container they were baked in.
Does freezing ruin cookies?
The good news: most cookies and cookie doughs freeze well because there is little to no water content in them. Water expands when it freezes and then contracts again when it is thawed. That expanding and contracting can ruin the texture of frozen food, but most cookie doughs will not have this problem.
