Can’t wait to try this recipe! How long do the decorated treats last if I put them in an airtight container?

The Cookie Countess replied:
Hi Rachel. If you make the recipe as-is, they should last about a week in an airtight container on the counter, or about two weeks in the fridge. If you dehydrate them and remove all of the moisture, they can last up to a month.

Hi there
How long would this icing be good for once iced on a pup treat that’s dehydrated? Just wondering for expiry purposes.
Many thanks!

Hi Chantelle. Fully dehydrated treats should be good for up to a month if stored in an airtight container.

Will this icing dry and can you pipe letters or designs with it?

The Cookie Countess replied:
This icing does dry. If you add the optional peanut butter, you should be able to pipe it. I hope this helps!

Does this get hard or do I have to refrigerate?

The Cookie Countess replied:
You don’t need to refrigerate cookies iced with this frosting for it to get hard. Because it is made with corn starch, it dries pretty quickly.

How long does this icing keep?

The Cookie Countess replied:
This icing should be made and immediately used; it will dry out quickly, due to the corn starch base.

Is it possible to make the icing without honey or any sugar?

The Cookie Countess replied:
That wouldn’t work for this recipe, but maybe theres another one out there that’s more minimal!

Recipes are online for CAT TREATS: Here is one: mix canned tuna with olive oil, egg, flour and mashed banana. Flatten onto a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 degrees, and then cut into kitty-bite sized pieces.

Would this set up like Royal Icing where it gets hard enough to stack or write on?

The Cookie Countess replied:
Hi Amy, it doesn’t get as hard as royal icing would but it gets close! We haven’t tried writing on the icing, but we’ll try that soon and update the blog with our results.
