Decorating cookies


There are many decorating techniques that I have wanted to do, but have not yet done because they take too much time. And I don’t want my cookies coming out looking like a mess. Some of the different techniques I have wanted to do with the cookies I’ve made are piping, dragging, and flooding the cookie dough, drizzling frosting or chocolate on the cookies, adding color to the dough, and using different types of frosting to put on the cookies. But the decorating technique that I want to do the most because I love they way cookies look with it is using stencils. I think this technique looks so cool on cookies, but I would have to have a lot of patience to do it because it can get mess and frustrating. Here are some websites that will go into more detail about the different techniques you can use to decorate any cookies you make.
