    Hi! This is Cassandra, from quite some time ago! I asked whether these cookies are crispy or not, along with an icing recipe that you can stack cookies? No one ever got back with me? Thank You! Be Blessed.

      Hi Cassandra, We’re sorry that we missed your earlier inquiry on this recipe! These cookies should have a tender soft inside with a light crisp crust. For an icing that will set and can be stackable try the icing recipe for our https://swansdown.com/recipes/holiday-cookies/. It will set nicely for cookie stacking. Happy baking!

    Hi. Do the above cookies come out crispy? That’s what I’m looking for! Also searching for a great icing for them, that you can stack; NO shortening OR karo syrup please. Thank you!

      Hi Cassandra, I’ve forwarded your question on to our Consumer Affairs Department. Someone will reach out to assist you. Happy baking!
