batter in the fridge for baking tomorrow. I'm going to freeze them so I need to stack between layers of waxed paper. I don't want the icing to get really hard, just to keep the paper from sticking.

 
Cyn, do you have any meringue powder? If you add a little to your regular

butter/sugar icing it helps it firm up a little. My sister just uses her plain butter icing but allows the cookies to stand out in the air until the icing firms up before packaging in her cookie trays at Christmas. This proved dangerous a couple of times when her one large dog decided to counter-surf. I think she started spreading out trays on a bed in a spare bedroom that could be securely closed.

Another option would be to just freeze as is and finish up with frosting after they are thawed. Sis makes many cut-out sugar cookies for a couple of months before Christmas, then frosts and decorates them the last weekend after thawing them.

 
Don't have any powder but I suppose I could add some egg white and powdered sugar.

I think that's what's in it.
I have so many other items to finish up at the last minute I really don't want to wait on these, too.

Thanks for your advice, Melissa!
