I am wanting to make the Cookie Pop Basket from episode 702 for Mother's Day. I will be making 4 baskets plus a few extra cookies to give away by themselves. How far in advance could I prepare the sugar cookie and gingerbread dough before I'm ready to roll them out to cut? Also, how far in advance of decorating could I prepare the icings?
