Use royal icing to create professional-looking, decorated cookies at home with just a few tools and a little imagination.
Tools to Use
These items make decorating easier: candy sprinkles, mini offset spatula, squirt bottle, piping bag and food coloring.
Royal Icing
First, let the cookies cool completely. Then make royal icing, a mixture of egg whites and confectioners' sugar (get the recipe: Royal Icing).
Start with Outlining Icing
For outlining icing, add a little extra confectioners' sugar — you want the consistency to be thick like paste.
Add Food Coloring
Remember, a drop of food coloring goes a long way.
Outlining
Use a piping bag with a small tip to outline the shape of the cookie. If the icing is too loose, add some more confectioners' sugar.
Steady-Hand Tip
Hold the bag in the hand you write with and the tip in the other hand as a guide. Gently squeeze the top of the bag. When you're done, set the cookie aside to dry.
Filling In Cookies
For a solid color, use the squeeze bottle or a spoon to fill in the outlines. This is called "flooding the cookie."
Adding Solid Colors
Use a thinner icing for this step, with a soft pudding or gravy consistency. If your icing is too thick, simply add water.
Cookies with a Solid Color
Let the base color dry a little before decorating.
Decorate
Use a piping bag to decorate the cookies.
Toppings
This is the time to add cute candies or sprinkles for decoration.
