Thank you! Cookie Con was amazing! I am still on cloud 9 with my head spinning from all the amazing people I met and all of the beautiful cookies I had the privilege to see up close and in person!

I have known this for a while, but Cookie Con brought us together to confirm that cookie people are the nicest people in the world! And the most talented!!!

Hope your daughter had a great 6th birthday. I wish we could have met at CC, but our babies come first. Maybe we can meet next year!

Thanks Claire! Like I said in the post, I want to be accessible and help any way I can so I was heartbroken when I realized I wasn’t getting my emails. I am so glad the issue is fixed!

Bear hugs,
Lisa

Daughter’s 6th birthday….I did pause for a second and thought about going but decided not to. I hope to come to the next one, never been. Second you never need to apologize for responding to e-mails, you are one of the best responders and always respond to my comments straightaway, that is what I love about you…apart from making fabulous cookies. Look forward to your post in my mailbox, always funny. Take care. Xx:)

Hi April,

I have a few suggestions for you to try that might resolve your sticking issue.

I am not sure how you are using the parchment paper. Are you wrapping the cookies with the parchment paper and then placing the parchment and the cookie into the treat bags? Can you send me a picture?

Here are my suggestions:
1. Ditch the parchment paper! I know parchment is a wonderful thing but once the cookies are decorated they seem to do better placed in individual treat bags like the ones I used in the shipping tutorial.

2. Once the icing on the cookies have dried completely, dust them with a little flower or powdered sugar. You can use a clean paint brush to remove the excess and it won’t change the way your cookies look, but the power will help prevent the icing from sticking to the treat bags.

If you have airbrushed the cookies, I hate to tell you that it will stick a little. I have not found a solution for that yet, but I am not giving up! I will find a way!

I may have a few other tricks up my sleeve in case this doesn’t work so let me know if you need more advice.

Bear hugs,
Lisa

This is my first email to you. I really do enjoy your amazing cookies and all the wonderful info you share. I have watched your packing and shipping totorial many times.

This is the issue I’m still having. I send cookies with royal icing to my pals in other states. I am still having an issue with the icing sticking to the parchment paper I wrap it with. Then I put that in a sealed wrapper.

I freeze my cookies icing and all before I ship them. Why do you think the icing is still sticky in some cases? I know their dry to the touch. I also put them in the dehydrator.

I’ve read that food coloring can cause the icing to be sticky. Help!

Thank you so much!
