IMPORTANT TIP: Do not put your cookies in the fridge or freezer. Let the cookies sit out at room temperature for 24 hours and the icing will harden on its own. Putting the cookies in the fridge will cause the icing to melt when they come out due to the temperature change. After 24 hours, you’re good to stack and store the cookies. If you made the icing right, it will be rock hard and very hard to dent. Hope that helps!
how long is the icing able to stay out assuming you don’t put it in the fridge, just with the egg whites i’m a little scared. would it be longer with the merengue?
@@briwrenmatheson4429 if you’re talking about icing in the piping bag, you want to put it back in the fridge after you’re done frosting. If you mean the frosting on the cookies, as long as you’re using pasteurized egg whites, the cookies are fine to sit out and should not go in the fridge. There’s no reason to be but if you’re still worried, just use meringue powder.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! I’ve made these before but for the icing I used water and powdered sugar and they got moldy, so next time I will try this!!
OMG I cant wait to make them! Me and my mom are about to head to the store to get some ingredients! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe! My pony likes popsicles so I hope he likes these!
wow! this has been really helpful! I have a pretty solid base for the cookies but I couldn't figure the icing out. i used water and powdered sugar and it was WAY to liquid for my cookies. thanks so much!!!
@@lenasundberg2228 I’ll be honest, I’ve never used meringue powder before so I’m not exactly sure. If you search “royal icing recipes with meringue powder”, there should be plenty of tutorials showing you how to use it!
You can still make them using this video, I showed exactly how. 1 part water to 2 parts molasses, then add flour until you get the desired dough consistency. Pretty simple 🙂
Don't! I just tried it and it was an absolutely fail I don't know why she posted this if she knew people wants to try it!!! Ofc it will be a huge fail!!!!! 😡😠
Thank you so much, this is great! It's my horses birthday today and I was trying to find a way to make good icing for his cookie cake and this worked great! Thanks so much
OMG I love it it's so cute and I want to eat it! TYSM I really love this video I think is my favorite video on youtube I really love your vids looking forward to more interesting videos!
I hope I get to make these soon I usually bring mints or something like that so I hope I get to the this recipe soon because I love baking but I’m away from home right now to help with my cousins for the new year’s lol and I’ll try to come back and tell you how great the recipe worked later lol and have a nice day to and thanks for sharing your recipe to
I do know this is old but I wanted to make my own cookies for the Christmas holidays to hand out to the instructors at my yard. Anywho, is the 1 part water and 2 part molasses just dependent on how big you want the batch of cookies?
i love these! wanna make it for my horse, but do you know if donkeys can eat these too? my neighbors have some mini donkeys and i would love to give them some too!
They really don’t go bad in my experience, but I only keep them for about 6 months before tossing. Always keep them in some kind of air tight container to keep them fresh!
thank you !!! i tried them today and they turned out amazing !!!!! i cant wait for the horses to try them out !! i also used water instead if the egg whites for the icing and it turned out great !! i couldent find regular food coloring so we used gel food coloring it says its safe for horses to eat but i just wanted to make extra sure is gel food coloring safe to ? 🤣!!
am so glad !!! tysm for sharing this amazing recipe !! cant wait to see what the horses think about them !! i bet they will love it ! i also added some sprinkles !!
hi I am making these cookie right now and wondering are egg whites that are straight from the ok cause I don't have the pasterized kind I have done some research and some people says its ok other say not to do it but idk also I hope you are able to open your shop when you are less busy your stuff looks so good
Hi, I would always use pasteurized eggs to prevent salmonella poisoning. While it’s a very small chance it could happen, the chance it still there. My store is closed for good unfortunately. Thanks for trying out the cookies!
This happened to me when I used all purpose flour, no matter what I tried I still got bubbles. Once I switched over to oat flour, I never got anymore bubbles unless I re-rolled it a bunch. Sorry, I wish I could help more but I tried so many things for the bubbles and nothing worked with the all purpose flour.
Hello sir.can you please let me know if we can feed horses biscuits which contains sugar in it coz my horse loves to eat a lot of biscuits.pls reply if it is good or bad to serve lot of biscuits as a treat.pls reply thanks.
Eggs are perfectly fine for horses, assuming they don’t have any specific dietary restrictions. If fact, some people add eggs into their horses grain, both for a protein boost and/or to get a shiny coat. Hope this helps!
Parts are just a ratio. For example, if you use one cup of molasses, according to my recipe you would use half a cup of water and add flour till you get a workable dough consistency. I can't really give you an answer because it all depends on how big and how thick you make the cookies.
My cookies seemed to shrink the next day, or the frosting lifted off. They come out perfect once I frost them but the next day the icing falls off, how to fix this? I tried poking holes but it didnt help
I'm sorry I've never had this problem so I'm not sure I can help. Is there too much flour on the top of your cookie? Sometimes I would have to dust off my cookies with a paper towel to ensure the icing sticks.
@@natalialevesque3578 that’s exactly why. They don’t need to go in the fridge or freezer. Let the icing harden for 24 hours at room temperature then you’ll be good to go. It should get so hard it doesn’t dent easily. Putting them in the fridge will actually make the icing “sweat” or melt after it comes out due to the temperature change.
Sorry to bother you again but my icing after a few days starts to turn white and have cracks, I don’t know if that normal but I use powered sugar and water
It’s just a ratio, you can use any measurement you’d like. So for example, if you want to use one cup of molasses, you need to use half a cup of water. I don’t give exacts because I make huge batches that the normal person just making a few cookies probably wouldn’t make, so I gave you the ratio instead.

@@Tinysadventures0123 no they should never be refrigerated. It depends on the horse's diet and special needs. I think one a day is plenty but if you have any worries talk to your vet, they know your horse better than me!
You were right. I made a second batch and they turned out way better with more time in the oven. My dough did get really springy or elastic while I was waiting to see how the first few came out of the oven. Talk about a comedy of errors.

These are cool! I always have a problem, because when I look up recipes I end up with humain cookies shaped like horses 😭🤦♀️
My icing is way too thin and get kinda clear! Any advice?
sounds like you need more powdered sugar!
is there an alternative to eggwhites in the icing????
You can use water but it won't set as hard and will easily dent.
@@slbequine4624 okay ty❤️
Hey, would u write a list for the perfect icing technique?
What OTHER food coloring would you recommend? I don't think i can get that brand where i live...
@@willowacademyWillSchroeder any food coloring is fine
What is the shelf life for the cookies with icing? Does it last for months in an airtight container without the icing going bad?
Yes! Up to six months stored correctly.
Can you do some other kind of design tutorial??
do you have to use a special kind of food coloring? Or can I use normal food coloring?
normal food coloring is fine! I prefer gel personally but either works
Hello sir.can you please let me know if we can feed horses biscuits which contains sugar in it coz my horse loves to eat a lot of biscuits.pls reply if it is good or bad to serve lot of biscuits as a treat.pls reply thanks.
Treats here and there should not be a problem unless your horse has dietary restrictions. If you are worried, consult your vet.
are egg whites safe for horses? i thought horses aren’t supposed to have animal products like eggs but just curious
Eggs are perfectly fine for horses, assuming they don’t have any specific dietary restrictions. If fact, some people add eggs into their horses grain, both for a protein boost and/or to get a shiny coat. Hope this helps!
SLB Equine oh cool! love ur treats sm
What do you recommend if it’s very thin and watery when making the icing?
add more powdered sugar, it will make it thicker
Hello, can I take sugar instead of Molasses ?
No, you need something sticky like molasses to keep the dough together
What do you mean by parts. If I wanted to make 25 cookies how much water would I roughly need
Parts are just a ratio. For example, if you use one cup of molasses, according to my recipe you would use half a cup of water and add flour till you get a workable dough consistency. I can't really give you an answer because it all depends on how big and how thick you make the cookies.
are the egg whites safe for the horses? do you have to back after ?
Yes because they're pasteurized. They need to be baked as said in the video.
Will the consistency for the icing be just as well if you just use icing sugar and water instead of the merengue or egg whites?
Yes, though it’s not going to dry very hard and may dent easily
@@slbequine4624 okay thank you!
My cookies seemed to shrink the next day, or the frosting lifted off. They come out perfect once I frost them but the next day the icing falls off, how to fix this? I tried poking holes but it didnt help
I'm sorry I've never had this problem so I'm not sure I can help. Is there too much flour on the top of your cookie? Sometimes I would have to dust off my cookies with a paper towel to ensure the icing sticks.
Are you using a liquid measuring cup or a dry ingredient measuring cup for the liquid ingredients?
uhhh...I'm not sure. Just some measuring cups I bought at Walmart lol!
ok, they look like dry measuring cups but the amount of ingredients is key for baking so i just wanted to confirm
What are some horse safe food dyes I can use??
Food dye from the grocery store is fine
What kind of food coloring did you use??
I like the Americolor brand gel food coloring, you can get it on amazon!
What’s the tool you used to fix any mistakes you said you could use a toothpick or this tool but I couldn’t make out what it was called
it is called a scribe, you can find them on amazon
how long will these treats last ?x
Roughly 6 months as long as they're kept in an air tight container :)
I was curious do you bake the dough
Yes as stated in the video
Is the egg liquidi is good for the horse ??
Yes, it’s fine as long as they don’t have any dietary restrictions.
Can you make them withought molasses?
You can try but I don’t think the dough would stick together very well. I know some people use peanut butter so you could always substitute it!
@@slbequine4624 what about honey 🍯 can you use that???
My frosting melts so easily, it’s just really soft. Is there a way to get it to harden up a little bit?
What are you using for the liquid in it? Egg whites, water, meringue powder, etc?
Egg whites :)
@@natalialevesque3578 you’re not putting it in the fridge are you?
@@slbequine4624 I let them harden up a bit, then I do yes
@@natalialevesque3578 that’s exactly why. They don’t need to go in the fridge or freezer. Let the icing harden for 24 hours at room temperature then you’ll be good to go. It should get so hard it doesn’t dent easily. Putting them in the fridge will actually make the icing “sweat” or melt after it comes out due to the temperature change.
Can you use syrup instead of molasses?
I'm not sure exactly but I probably wouldn't. There are a lot of extra ingredients in syrup depending on the type you use.
@@slbequine4624 Ok, thank you for the answer😊
Where did you get that rolling pin from?
amazon!
Are horses allowed any type of food coloring?
Im pretty sure...Just dont give them too much
Are all the ingredients in these cookies safe for horses?
Of course, wouldn't be feeding them if they weren't.
if you see this, how long can you store these for?
If they’re in a sealed container somewhere not hot, I keep them about 6 months.
how hard should the cookies be?
firm but easy to break!
After I bake them they become hard as rocks… what am I doing wrong?? Any advice?
They cookie itself should be hard, but not rock hard. You may be cooking them too long or need more wet ingredients.
where did you purchase your molasses?
I buy mine in bulk from Bakers Authority (it’s a website). If you don’t need a ton of it, most grocery stores sell little jars of it.
Sorry to bother you again but my icing after a few days starts to turn white and have cracks, I don’t know if that normal but I use powered sugar and water
I’m sorry I’ve never had that issue before so I’m not sure what could be!
@@slbequine4624 should I use egg whites instead?
By one part or two parts does that mean cups?
It’s just a ratio, you can use any measurement you’d like. So for example, if you want to use one cup of molasses, you need to use half a cup of water. I don’t give exacts because I make huge batches that the normal person just making a few cookies probably wouldn’t make, so I gave you the ratio instead.
is that 350° Celsius or Fahrenheit
probably Fahrenheit
mine always have bubbles when i bake them any tips?

Sorry, I wish I could help more but I tried so many things for the bubbles and nothing worked with the all purpose flour.
What do you mean by "1 part water, 2 parts molasses?" Does it mean 1 cup water, 2 cups molasses?
It’s just a ratio. So yes, if you want to make that much that would be right.
How healthy are these for them? My ponies are on a diet...........
Just to be safe I wouldn’t
What would you say the shelf life for the treats would be?
I would personally toss them after around 6 months. Be sure to keep them in an air tight container
@@slbequine4624 do they need to be refrigerated? How often do you think horses can eat these?
@@Tinysadventures0123 no they should never be refrigerated. It depends on the horse's diet and special needs. I think one a day is plenty but if you have any worries talk to your vet, they know your horse better than me!
Is artificial food colouring safe as well

My cookies didn’t get hard. They’re still somewhat pliable after baking. Any ideas?
you may need to cook them longer, the specific time will depend on the oven

Hmm, I'm sorry I've never experienced that before so I'm not sure how to help!
Where do you get your molasses and egg whites?🫶
@@jensen.equestrian the grocery store:)
How much did you usually sell your treats/cookies for?
it really varied depending on the complexity of they set. My pony rods were $10 for 6 rods while the sets were usually around $12-$14 for 5-6 cookies
Can I just use egg whites straight from the egg
Sure thing! Just make sure to separate the egg from the white and only use the white.
Awesome thank you so much so excited to try it
This is not hate at all, you probably know better then me but I thought horses could not eat flour. If you know please tell. Again this is not hate.
Horses can eat flour, certainly I wouldn’t use it in my treats if they couldn’t!
Do you have to have a permit to make horse treats
What do you mean by a permit?
how much flour?
wait guys can horses eat flour？？
how much flour?
As shown in the video, I keep adding flour until I get the correct texture, there’s generally no set amount
