Baking question. [View all]

Just made some butt-kicking Valentine cookies and it just dawned on me that I may have made a mistake with the icing. Ingredients are

1 cup confectioner sugar
2 teaspoon milk
2 teaspoon cornsyrup
1/4 tsp almond extract.

Cookies taste delicious, but it occurred to me that I shouldn't have used that recipe because I was planning to mail them to people, and the milk now makes the cookie perishable.

Anyone have experience with this? Everyone that reviewed it at the website talks it up, and nobody mentions refrigeration.

This is where I got the recipe:

Here''s something to consider: Ptah Feb 2016 #2

However, in this case, it's an icing and it isn't cooked. kentauros Feb 2016 #3

Looks like I read too fast. Ptah Feb 2016 #4

That's okay. kentauros Feb 2016 #5

You're welcome :) kentauros Feb 2016 #7

My husband has already over-taste tested them. Baitball Blogger Feb 2016 #9

Vanilla and almond is a good combination. kentauros Feb 2016 #11

I was going to suggest the "Cooking & Baking" group under LiberalElite Feb 2016 #8

I was in a tight spot and needed a quick answer and I didn't know which group would respond faster. Baitball Blogger Feb 2016 #10
