Using Cookie Texture Mats with Buttercream Icing

http://www.karenscookies.net - These cookie texture mats aren't just for rolled fondant and candy clay! Yes, it's easier to get a defined design with those techniques, but you can actually get some great results from meringue powder buttercream as well! With some practice you can do this with ease! Have fun!

Awesome, Karen! This is a neat idea.

And I agree...you do have gorgeous nails.

@paigeofpearls Awww, thanks Rachel! :D You need to come to I.F. so we can play with cookies!

I know this has nothing to do with your video...but I love your nails! Do you have any paint on them?

@jackiexgrace My poor, abused nails! They actually do look ok in the video, but in person they're pretty thrashed! I was fortunate enough to inherit good nails from my mom, but I don't take very good care of them. I've never had a manicure, and the last time I painted them was probably 10 years ago! I'm glad they look ok, though! :D Thanks!

I love your videos Karen. I've neve done cookies from scratch. Are they hard or soft when baked? Also, I only have a hand mixer. Will I be able to make the dough with it? thanks
