How to Make a Reindeer and Gingerbread Man from 1 Cutter (Christmas Beginner Cookies)

[@lilanntaylor]

I wish I had seen this before tonight. I made and decorated cookies all day long and I had the gingerbread man. Looks like I know what I'll be making next weekend. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial video.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Oh darn!! Well hopefully next weekend you can make some 🥰

[@stephaniebollard2396]

Wow, I just love your videos! You take them at such a great pace, and repeat instructions with detail so that a beginner like me can follow along with ease! I’ve definitely fallen down the rabbit hole with all of your videos!

Aww thank you so much ❤️ appreciate the comment and support 🥰

[@marthasmith4836]

I would love to see more double duty cutter tutorials. Great video as always!

I will definitely keep that in mind... another good one Michelle (from HS) just did was turn a pumpkin sideways for a Santa head!!

@@LittleCookieCo yes I saw that! I search Pinterest all the time and i never saw that idea. It was perfect

[@LittleCookieCo]

I think there's a Facebook group too that's called flip your cutter or something along those lines and has tons of great flip ideas!!

[@ajinpnw6221]

I just love that you used one cutter for two cookies...They are both adorable, but that reindeer is toooooo tooooo cute...Love love love

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you so much, not sure who came up with it but a genius idea!! I love being able to use cutters for multiple purposes!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you!! They're simple designs but so cute 🥰 some of my favorite Christmas cookies! Yes, the best way to learn is to just do it hehe. Thank you for watching and hope you have a very Merry Christmas too ❤

[@dannycamejo9190]

Do you recommend using a squeeze bottle for the icing? I bought 2 oz bottles from michaels with a wilton tip attached.

[@LittleCookieCo]

I personally don't use them, I always use tipless bags but I know some who do prefer bottles though! Do whatever you feel works best for you!!

[@jessicapeters8199]

I just made the reindeer! He is so cute. Thank you!

[@LittleCookieCo]

Awesome!!! So happy you gave it a shot 😁

[@andrewburgess9153]

I have found your channel within the past 4 days or so. Absolutely stunning, very inspiring. I'm a keen baker and will definitely use your videos. The reindeer cookie is so cute and such a fantastic idea. I recently made a batch of G/B men but most seemed to "melt" (out of shape) whilst cooking. Very disheartening

[@LittleCookieCo]

Aww thank you so much, I'm so happy you enjoy my videos! And there's nothing worse than having your cookies out of shape. I do have a tutorial on the cookie recipe I use and some tips to keep their shape, I've had a lot of success with it if you need some tips!

That was really clever! N what perfect timing... I was skeptical about buying the holiday cookie cutters as I am not gonna use them any other time except holidays ... Your videos are sooo helpful and so satisfying to watch ❤️❤️❤️

[@LittleCookieCo]

Aww thank you so much! I'm the same way, I try no to buy too many cutters as they add up quickly and then I have to find a place to store them! This cutter was from the box of wilton 101 cutters I got from Michael's, and then used a coupon so it was quite cheap and it has all the holidays and some basic shapes like circles etc that I used in my other videos. It was my first set of actual cutters and stil use them to this day!

[@greerhelmsing1591]

So cute!!! Do you use same consistency for outlining and lettering? Thanks.

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! It depends what time of lettering I'm doing but yes its about the same, or a tiny bit stiffer. With outline I can get away with it not being the perfect consistency but with writing it has to be a bit more on point. I do have a tutorial on writing and I show what my consistencies are as well m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZfQpoemja-rY6s

[@brendacline367]

I have not made my first cookie yet.. I am your number one fan now! Love your instructions! One question you may have already covered do you keep your icing for any length of time and if so how long and how do you store?

[@LittleCookieCo]

Hello! Thank you for watching (and I really hope you get a chance to try making some cookies 😊). While I'm working on my cookies, it usually takes me several days so I'll store my icing bags in a ziploc bag in the fridge when I'm not using them. And then once I'm done with my cookies, I'll do the same but store then in the freezer! Usually keep it there for a few months!

[@brittanysolisperez9583]

I was going to make cookies for Christmas but can't decide if to add frosting or royal icing because I don't want it to be too sweet goat any ideas😊

[@LittleCookieCo]

I find even though royal icing by itself is really sweet, when paired with a sugar cookie, it's just right! The cookie recipe I use is not that sweet and so it balances it out very nicely! Or worst case, if you can't decide make both hehe 😊

[@amandak2237]

Can you use a 20 second icing for the decorating?

[@LittleCookieCo]

You can! You can really do it however you like, whatever you are most comfortable doing.

[@sinthujajeya4933]

Amazing! What brand of icing colour do you use? I can’t seem to get the same vibrant colours

Thank you! I use Americolor, they always work great for me!

[@ymcrivera]

I love this im wondering how do you know what size to cut the piping tip and how do you do it

[@LittleCookieCo]

Thank you! I always start really small and then pipe a few lines on a paper towel just to test how it flows out of the bag. The best way to cut the tip is to flatten the tip of the bag, make sure the seam is facing in the middle and then cut with sharp scissors as straight as you can. Start small as you can always make it bigger. If you're icing is curling out of the bag then the hole is too small.

[@beatrizsandoval4395]

How do you get the black so dark? I have trouble with mine. No matter how much black paste I add it always look more like black/gray

[@LittleCookieCo]

Letting the icing sit usually helps to deepens the colours and make sure you have good gel colours. My favorite is americolorsuper black. I am working on a video for that as well to show the process.
