Easy Beginner Christmas Cookie Tutorial

[@BostonBorn]

I love when you do the circle cookies…more please, I can’t get enough of your creativity. 😍💞

[@LittleCookieCo]

Aww thank you!! I have a couple Christmas ones from last year as well 🥰

[@caitdestefano8417]

I agree. Some other channels use some fancy cutters and as a beginner hobbiest who just wants to decorate cookies with her kids I appreciate the simple cookie cutter designs.

[@LittleCookieCo]

I try to keep it simple for that reason, that way anyone can do them 🥰🥰 thank you!

[@carmenadrianzen8975]

Desearía la clase en español, gracias.

[@kristinemaness855]

You give the best tutorials, especially explaining which consistency you are using, when and why. I’m still a newbie at all this and you really make it seem doable. Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad to hear that, makes me think I'm doing something right!!

[@naboegrainger1132]

Brilliant cookie teacher... so creative and patient in explaining everything ❤

[@LittleCookieCo]

You are too kind, thank you so much!

[@traceywhaley9577]

I love that they are all circle cookies!

[@LittleCookieCo]

I like to keep it simple so you don't have to have the specific cutter to do the design!

[@calogerazarcone7515]

super bien réussi

3:30 "...on his toque there..." So cute! I love learning new words! Thanks Canada! And thank you for this amazing video. ❤️

[@LittleCookieCo]

🤣🤣 I was wondering if someone was going to notice that (just recently learned not everyone calls it a toque hehe)! Thank you 🥰🥰

[@job5802]

Well I've taken the plunge and got everything I need to start making and decorating cookies. I think I'm just gonna do plain icing just to get a feel for it. Can't wait to have a go at these they look so cute.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Yay!! Just go for it, and plain icing, just a few colours, it doesn't have to be exactly the same!! Just have fun with it and do your best 😊 and everytime you do them you'll get better and better (my first cookies were terrible!)

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

These are so precious! I can’t stop watching your videos, I’ve learned so much & you are a fabulous teacher! Thank you ☺️🍪

[@DianaMartinez-yt9tw]

Hello I just subscribed to your channel 🤗. I’m loving your videos. Your work is amazing. What type of food coloring are u using for the icing? Where can I buy the bags to pipe and the metal pencil to even out the icing. Not sure what u call it. I’m new at this and I would love to start making cookies with my kids. I appreciate the help thank you.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hi! Thank you so much! I'm sure your kids would love to make cookies with you ❤ I normally use Americolor as I've accumulated a lot over the years, but lately it's been hard to find so I've also started using some ChefMaster colours. Wilton colours are also ok, they sometimes aren't as strong or concentrated but work well too! The metal pencil thing is called a scribe tool, you can use a toothpick as well if you don't have one. You can find those in the baking section of Michael's or Hobby Lobby but I also have it linked under the video. The tipless bags are also linked under the video in the description (sometimes you have to click a down arrow just under the video and it will show all the info). Let me know if you can't find it.

[@opr80nu]

I am a beginner decorator, and I am looking for quality seamless piping bags. I have trust issues with some products on Amazon because I have ordered and received cheap Chinese products. I'm wondering if you can point me in the right direction? Any assistance is very gratefully accepted!

[@vietuser7]

Does icing get dry when they’re in the bags? (While you wait for the icing on the cookies to dry for example). Also can you store/save the icing when you have leftover? :)

[@LittleCookieCo]

The icing won't dry in the bag. You have to let the cookies sit out on the counter uncovered for about 8 hours to dry. I usually leave mine out overnight and by the morning they're dry. Then you can bag them with no problems! And leftover icing, I will put the piping bags in ziploc bags and put them in the freezer until next time I need them!

[@herminiaferrera3924]

Love it❤️

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much!

[@MoriahManny_MLE]

Do the cookies actually stay soft ? Also do you have a tutorial of how you make your cookies ?

[@LittleCookieCo]

I wouldn't say they are super soft or chewy, but they do have a soft bite! The icing is a little crunchy but the cookie is soft and they are tasty! This is how I make mine m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDVfn2OoLCea9E

[@tracititus8469]

Hi Stephanie! What food coloring do you use for your icing? The gel color I use never gives me true reds or black etc! I find I have to use a TON to even get close! Your Suggestions? Thank you!!! 😊

[@LittleCookieCo]

I have a vidoe on the black and red I use (I like a specific one 😁 as it always works well) so here it is and they should be linked in the video description kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIm0qp2tgql5nLc

[@gilliancrowley6407]

I tried these out and I got tons of compliments thank you! Do you happen to know of an icing recipe that doesn’t involve meringue powder (or egg whites)? My province doesn’t allow dairy in the icing when it comes to using a home kitchen and selling baked goods out of the home. I’m stumped as to what to use now as I need something that will package well and look presentable.

[@LittleCookieCo]

That's so great to here! I know some people use a vegan royal icing that uses Aquafaba, you'd have to search up a recipe but they use the chickpea water instead of meringue powder. If you search up the Cake Mama, she makes vegan royal icing and may have a recipe on her website!

[@katiemcgervey3437]

Do you have a recommendation for the ratio of outline to flood icing when coloring a batch of icing? I definitely follow your direction to mix to outline consistency and then color and then divide and thin down again for the flooding, but I just can't get the ratio right!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Do you mean for example you don't have enough flood or too much flood when you mix it? I make a lot less outline than flood cause I know ill use a lot less. So I like to makes handful of outline if that makes sense? So when I hold the bag it fills my hand (and it's easier to hold when it's not a very small amount). So maybe about a cup to cup and a half? And then if I ever need more flood I can always thin down my outline icing!

[@molly_jean]

Very nice video! Thank you (:

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you 🥰

[@christinemohammed6893]

Hi how long can the cookies last? I love your videos. Job well done.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! They can last I would say about 2 weeks if in a container, otherwise I would freeze them! I've had cookie much older tha that but they do get a little bit harder, but still good!

[@mabelcam072]

Hi! It's being like a struggle a little with the royal icing I have made it with a fork only and then I started decorating the cookies but for how much time do I let the icing set up? Like for 40 min?

[@LittleCookieCo]

To fully dry they need to sit on the counter uncovered for about 8 hours or so. But between steps it could take an hour or so. Or you can use a fan and it will dry faster in about 30-40 minutes

[@cathymartin3379]

How do you gauge how much of each colour of icing to make when you're starting out, and if you have lots leftover in piping bags can you freeze it in those (for how long) and use it another time?

[@LittleCookieCo]

To be honest it's mostly just a guessing game and as you Decorate you get better. If I have leftover, I put the piping bags in a zioloc bag and freeze them..then I'll add fresh icing to the frozen (defrosted) icing to use it again. Near the end of this video I show how I store them in the bags kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqmqc3aioNGfhKc

[@laurad7439]

I bought a box of piping bags. The problem is when I cut the tip off it is more "flat" than "round", if you know what I mean. I really do not want to use the tips. I have some but they are so not fun to clean and I don't want to buy a bunch of them. Any tips?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Did you buy wilton bags by any chance? Or something similar where they are much thicker plastic? When the bags are thicker they tend to have a thick seam or sometimes even 2 seams which makes the hole flatter and not round. Try cutting with the seam in the middle and flatten the bag out as much as possible. If that doesn't work , you may have to buy new bags or ksut made do with a flatter outline. It shouldn't affect your flood too much because it is looser icing. Below the video linked here I have some links of the bags I use kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaHTaXeNm7asZtE
