What I love most about this is that your design doesn't depend on the fancy cookie cutter. With only a set of piping bags, you can make many things out of a simple circle. 👏👏👏👏👏 🦌🦌🦌🦌🎅🎁🎄⛄❄

@@LittleCookieCo what size are the cookies you used? Can I use a glass to cut out the cookies?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes you can definitely use a glass! Just make sure your dough is night and stiff not sticky or you may have a hard time getting it out of the glass. You can also dip your glass in cornstarch and will help it not stick to the glass!

[@mahdireza5695]

I don't wanna draw attention from this wonderful lady because she is so amazing and talented! I still love her videos. But there is an easier and even quicker way to decorate sugar cookies if you're quite lazy: thin out a batch of classic stiff pipeable royal icing till it reaches the consistency of a thick custard??? Idk how to describe it but u should get the point. At this point you could split the thick but drippy icing and colour them whatever you'd like. Lastly all that's left to do is individually dip each cookie and that's it! Perfectly "filled" sugar cookies with no need to pipe a border! Just make sure to let the excess icing drip off and gently shake the cookie after turning it on it's icing side facing upwards for a beautifully smooth finish. From here you can get more creative if you wish. Put on some sprinkles, pipe on some patterns with icing or if you're too lazy to pipe at all, just swirl a couple colours of leftover drippy royal icing and change em up. I probably longed this out but the process is deffo quicker than piping and flooding

[@MsDanimal84]

Good method as well. Different results.

I made the cookies and we love to eat them plain as well as decorated. In my first attempt at decorating ANYTHING, I attempted the gorgeous snowflakes. Just like many others commenting, I will need to experiment and practice to get the consistencies correct. I did want you to know that you inspired me to attempt decorating cookies, and as childish as they look, I am ridiculously proud of them. Thanks!

[@LittleCookieCo]

You should be so proud of yourself! It's always hard the first time, and then once you do it you know what you need to improve and can focus on that! Consistency is the hardest thing to get right and is the most important to make clean cookies, but you will get there with practice and you already took the hardest step 😊 we all started the same as beginners and with funny looking cookies, but it gets better, I promise 🥰 I'm so happy you decided to give them a try!!

I had to pause this video for two reasons! One to subscribe right away when I saw the mistake at Santa belly and to also say I applaud this video. Many other vids are good and I watch lots and lots of cookie decorations but they don't show what to do when I make a mistake and I haven't made a perfect one YET! I just didn't know how to correct them. Thanks for this! Excellent vid I could tell when i saw all your piping and flooding bags laid out! And you even helped me not rush into flooding I though it all had to be done boom boom right after the other. Now I will outline all then food, who knows right now. Just trying to establish my mojo.

Great tutorial! The explanations and details were very thorough. So much labor in each cookie. It's no wonder when you get these from a bakery they're a little pricey.

[@debjudisch5548]

Where did you get that idea about snowflakes? You do realize that NO two snowflakes are alike? Exactly who sat down and counted the detail on a snowflake? Seriously? You do know that Santa isn't real, either, right? So, I think her snowflakes will be fine.

@@LittleCookieCo Quick question though... if I put too much fill will it spill out or will it stay in because the outline has hardened?

[@LittleCookieCo]

If your outline is really thin, and you go to flood (fill the inside with icing) and you fill it a lot, it may go over the border. If your outline is thicker, its harder for it to spill over the sides. Not the end of the world if it does, just let it dry and use a nice and slice it off the side! Once its dry though, it won't move!

I started baking sugar cookies and shipping them to my young grandson 2 states away. It’s not cheap to ship and the cookies are never perfect, but I’m having so much fun sending a dozen or so of my creations before Valentine’s Day, Halloween, and now Christmas. And as I’m making the cookies, I take pictures of the process to emphasize the amount of work (and fun) involved in getting them ready. I want my son, DIL, and grandson to know that this is a “love hobby!” I think for additional practice, I’ll give cookies to a neighbor o two. After all…. a type 1 diabetic like me can’t eat them all! LOL But somehow a good amount of icing always seems to make it to my mouth in the process! 😅🎉❤

[@stephaniedowning9039]

These are so cute! I plan to do several of these designs for Christmas! I have always let my flood icing dry overnight before adding any detailing! I don't have a dehydrator; they just sit out on the table. Now this makes me wonder if I can get away with adding details the same day as flooding without having bleeding issues. I would particularly worry about the black stripe and the white stripe on Santa! If you do the red, then the white, then the black, then the yellow, how much time would you allow between each layer? And no bleeding issues?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! If you add white colour to your icing when you make it, that helps a ton to prevent bleeding! Also, for smaller areas like the belt or white part you can make your flood a tad thicker, which also helps with bleeding as well. You can also use a fan near your cookies to help speed up the drying process. And another rule of thumb is to do the darker areas first and the light, to prevent bleeding as the dry icing sucks moisture and colour from the wet icing (not really for this case because you're not able to, but just so you know) I would make sure to leave enough time so that icing crusts over before doing another layer so that the icing colours don't mix. With a fan it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour maybe.

[@stephaniedowning9039]

Thank-you so much! Do you add white to all of your colored icing as well or just to your white icing? And approximately how much white gel dye would you add to a 4 cup recipe of royal icing?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I add it to all my icing, even if some of it will be black or red! I don't really measure, I usually add about a good squeeze or 2 of it.

[@mrbl3nd3r0]

I have a question. Do we need 2 different types of icing? Flood and Outline? EDIT: I subbed after seeing the first comment...

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi and welcome 😊 you can do what you feel more comfortable. The reason I prefer 2 consistencies is that I don't have to get them perfect, where if I use 1 it has to be just right not too runny so it doesn't fall off the cookie and not too stiff so I can smoothe it out. And I feel like an outline let's me have sharper designs. Also, I dont find it too much more work because when I make my icing I add enough water to make it my outline icing. Then I colour it, take some out and bag it and then add water to thin down whatever is left for my flood.

I usually dry them in a dehydrator when I'm working on them and then leave them on the counter overnight to fully dry. Do your cookies get soft after they are iced? Mine aren't hard but aren't soft either and are easy to handle. It could be your recipe? They shouldn't really go soft!

Love your video and designs! One question, is it possible to use buttercream icing instead of royal icing, say, in the flooding area? My family doesn't like royal icing.

[@LittleCookieCo]

You can definitely use buttercream instead of royal icing, it won't quite give you the exact same smoothe look but will look beautiful nonetheless. You'd want to search up a crusting buttercream as it would work best. If you search up the Hutch Oven on instagram, she decorates cookies with buttercream 😊

[@jitkajahn3500]

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I have couple questions I would like to ask about your pipping bags. I noticed that when you show your prepared icing that you have two types of bags, One for the outline and one flooding consistency. Do you use two different bags to make it easier on you to see which one is which or do you use different bags for the flooding consistency because there is a reason for it other than to recognize which is which ? Also would you mind to share what colors and type of icing you used on these? Thank you so much for making these, it is so nice to be able to teach my children and have great quality bonding time while decorating .

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi! I use the same bags, except normally my outline bag has less icing in it than the flood, because I use much less outline than flood. They may look different because of that but they're the same bags! The colours are (all Americolor brand): Red Red Super Black Leaf Green Lemon yellow mixed with some egg yellow Warm brown mixed with chocolate brown Sky blue Electric orange

[@Katie.endurance.ponies]

Hey just wondering how long it takes for the icing to fully dry once u have completed them and how long it takes for them to go crusty on the top before u do layers? LOVE the cookies btw!! :D

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much ❤ so for the layer to crust over it can take as little as 30-45 minutes if you have a dehydrator or a fan that you can place nearby. If you don't have that then just leaving them on the counter can take a couple of hours (give or take, if your area is humid it could take longer). Then once it's done I'll always leave them overnight on the counter, make sure not to cover them and in about 6-8 hours they should be fully dry!

Thank you so much! And I tend to pipe certain things with 2 hands (well my hand and the finger of my other hand again the bag) when I need to have a steady hand. You should give it a try, it is a lot of fun 😊

Hello there! Ok, so I’m about to start these beauties here! One question for you..when you prepare outline or flood consistency icings...do you do a big batch of each, THEN color small amounts and bag them? OR, do you prepare each color/consistency separately? Preparing the icing colors/consistencies I find is the most time consuming. Thank you so so much for your professional advice!!! ❤️❤️🎄🎄

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi! I make a batch of icing and then I separate into bowls, each bowl will be 1 colour. I add my gel colour and at this point my icing is the outline consistency, I put enough in the bowl so its enough for my outline and flood. Once I get the colour I like, I'll bag some of it and then thin down the rest of it with water and that would be my flood icing. There's different ways of doing it but that's the way it works best for me. And it does take forber sometimes unfortunately, especially when you have tons of colours! The only reason I don't do big batches is I find fresh icing pipes the best! But I do freeze my leftover, especially red and black, so I can add it to new icing so it doesn't take as much to colour them.

[@vickidonnelly543]

@@LittleCookieCo how do you freeze them?

[@LittleCookieCo]

You can put them in an airtight container and then when you're ready to defrost them, do not open the container until you're sure they are defrosted completely or at room temperature completely. This prevents condensation on the cookies!

I was just about to spend a small fortune on tips & couplers & then I saw your video. I cannot BELIEVE you can make detailed cookies w/o all that fancy stuff! I'm so happy to have found this video! I subscribed & now I'll be watching your others! I'm totally new to this & I'm sure they won't turn out this beautiful, but I'm inspired! 💚❤💚

[@LittleCookieCo]

That's awesome that you saw it just in time. I love using tipless bags so much better and it saves you from having to get the exact tip for eventing! Thanks for your support ❤

[@raulcortez23]

[@LittleCookieCo]

You are so kind, thank you so much!! ❤❤❤

[@yaninacaramesrico1329]

It's fantastic what you make and how you make it and explain it. I'll put it into practice soon. Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much!! I hope you do give it a try 😊

[@yvettemiller-samuel5038]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise. I’m motivated to try some Christmas themed cookies! What settings should I use for the dehydrator and how long should I keep the cookies in the dehydrator?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yay! Happy to hear you'll give them a go! I try to keep the temperature around 85°F and ill leave them in for 15-20 minutes or until I notice they've crusted over and I can do the next step. And then after each step I put them in again. I've left them longer than that and had no issues either 😊

[@amythomas2365]

Thank you for the video! We enjoy your cookie videos. We’re a big fan of your videos.

[@loganritchie4605]

Thank you for the tutorial. They are so adorable. I'm going to have to try these.

[@LittleCookieCo]

[@chrisandana7927]

Great recipe, will deff try next week! Thank you

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you and I hope you do 🥰🥰

[@PetraJoosten1]

Adorable, and love how you show how to mend a few hiccups too, thank you for the tips ❤️

[@LittleCookieCo]

You're welcome!! 🥰

[@jody1622]

These are great and look easy enough for a beginner!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thanks!! And they definitely are!!

[@sangarakumarkumarasamy3691]

Cookies look amazing. What is the name of the tool, smoothing the icing?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! Its called a scribe tool! You can find them at Michael's in the baking section or online 😊

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes, a toothpick works great too!

[@emilysteensma2473]

Love the burnt cookie!

[@LittleCookieCo]

🤣🤣 it happens! But its not as bad as it looks, and still was delicious 😋

[@emilysteensma2473]

Little Cookie Co Ha! It’s okay it always happens with ours

[@LittleCookieCo]

I always think one more minute and then get distracted 🤣

[@jessicahanney5200]

Amazing tutorial! I always find that royal icing makes my cookies go soft. Do you have any tips for me to keep a hard biscuit after it's iced?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! This is the recipe I use (it's linked below the video in the description) and they hold well after icing. They aren't hard but they aren't soft either, so easy to handle and package without breaking 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDVfn2OoLCea9E

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

Your video popped up in my feed & WOW!! I’m so glad it did! I can’t wait to make these cookies for Christmas! Thank you for sharing, these are just wonderful ☺️

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I can't wait to post more Christmas content in a few months 🥰

[@vivianisrosado4630]

These look amazing!! I’m a beginner but I’m hoping to do better. Question when the icing is fully dried are the cookies good to be shipped?? Or is it better for you to ship cookies made out of i fondant instead of icing?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! Yes, once fully dried you can definitely ship these! You can package them, stack them etc and they'll be fine. I would advise though if you are shipping that you bubble wrap them individually, they are sturdy but small details can break off if they aren't handled with care. So if you bubble wrap and then make sure nothing shakes in the boxe (stuff it full) you should be fine!

[@heatherbrown8226]

Can you please tell me how you got the consistency you needed for the edges and also for filling. Did you just use icing sugar & water to make the icing?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi! I use royal icing. You can find how I make it in this video. I have the recipe in the description below the video! I also show towards the end how I make my outline and flood icing too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmbQh36Qo7mkl8U

[@elianamikolay8575]

I"m going to try these tomorrow...and I'm super nervous :/ I'm probably going to just pick 2 designs to make my life a little easier..the reindeer and the snowflake. So I'll need outline and flood for light blue and brown, and then just outline for all other colors..does that sound right?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yes you got it!!! And don't worry just have fun and try your best!! We all started as beginners..😊

[@shelbymetz7247]

Soo talented and great teaching. Is this Royal Icing or buttercream and could I have the icing recipe please?

[@nanjohnson6904]

I’m getting ready to have a few friends over to try this technique and I shared this video with all of them. Thank you so much for your concise instructions. Great video. Wish us luck!

[@LittleCookieCo]

That sounds so fun, thank you so much!!

[@ameliedallaire3594]

They look amazing!! What food coloring do you use? Especially for the brown. Thanks!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! I use Americolor and for the brown I use a mixture of Americolor warm brown and Americolor chocolate brown!

[@jordanbrewer5294]

I’m just starting out and I’m so intimidated by the royal icing and decorating. Mixing it to the right consistency, coloring it correctly, piping it...terrifying! I made a batch of star shaped sugar cookies last night and they turned out good, but I wanted to do more decorating. These are adorable and I’m trying them next!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Don't be scared!! It doesn't have to be perfect. Everyone has their own consistency preferences, there's no perfect consistency that's right for everyone, so don't stress on getting it perfect! Even myself, I get it wrong a lot of the times but I either fix it to make it better or just go with it and try and make it work as best I can!! I promise with every set you'll see improvement and happy you'll be trying these next 🥰🥰

[@donnabozkurt6904]

Wow! They look amazing 😍. I'm very tempted now to have a go at cookie decorating. Thankyou ☺️

[@LittleCookieCo]

I think you should go for it!! Its so much fun and Christmas is a perfect time, cause everyone loves a Christmas cookie 🥰🥰

[@luzbarrios106]

Thanks a lot! I will definitely give it a try. Greetings from Madagascar 🎄

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yay!! So happy you'll try them! And wow Madagascar, very cool!! I'm from Canada ❤
