Cookie decorating is a beautiful form of art in which you can use your creativity to express your inner artist.

Decorating cookies is a very old tradition that started back in the 14th century in Switzerland. They used intricately carved wooden molds and sugar decorations which was later introduced in the United States during the 17th century.

Now a days cookie decorating is still a strong tradition in families from all over the world. Furthermore, there are many new techniques and tools for this form of art even though the fundamental principles are the same, such as having a good cookie and icing recipe.

Now that you have your royal icing ready I will show you the basic techniques to decorate cookies and  how to make polka dots and lines.

In this part of the course you will  learn to decorate cookies using a wet on wet technique.  In this technique you use the same consistency icing in different colors to make several designs mixing and dragging the icing in different directions. 

One of the easiest techniques is to use edible markers to draw on a dry iced cookie, the possibilities are endless as your iced cookie is a white canvas ready to be paint.

I like to call this technique "skinny cookies", Why? Because I  don't cover all the cookie with icing, I just outline and make some details to the cookie.

Coloring pages cookies are very popular among the children.  These cookies are also very easy and you can personalized the cookies according to your taste or occasion.
