Cookies might be delicious already without any additives, but icing is a must have. This video shows you how to ice your cookies to add to the deliciousness.
Add a finishing touch to cookies that will leave everyone begging for more.
Step 1: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack
Allow freshly baked cookies to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Step 2: Fill pastry bag with icing
Insert a number two or number four sized pastry tip into the pastry bag and fill it with icing.
TIP: Squeeze a pastry bag from the end of the bag, not the center, to keep the heat of your hands from melting the icing.
Step 3: Trace the edge of the cookie
Carefully trace a circle around the edge of the top of the cookie.
Step 4: Pipe vertical lines in the inside of the cookie top
Pipe vertical lines on the top of the cookie within the circle you've drawn.
Step 5: Smooth the top with a butter knife or spatula
Use a butter knife or small spatula to smooth the top of the cookie.
TIP: Let the first layer of icing dry before adding monograms or another layer of frosting.
Step 6: Add additional decorations
Add decorations, such as colored sugar, sprinkles, small candies, or chopped nuts. Wait for the icing to set, and then dig into your cute and tasty treats.
