Add a finishing touch to cookies that will leave everyone begging for more.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Cookies
A wire rack
Icing
A pastry bag
A no. 2 or no. 4 pastry tip
A butter knife
A small spatula
Colored sugar
Sprinkles
Small candies
Chopped nuts

Step 1: Allow the cookies to cool on a wire rack

Allow freshly baked cookies to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.

Step 2: Fill pastry bag with icing

Insert a number two or number four sized pastry tip into the pastry bag and fill it with icing.

Tip: Squeeze a pastry bag from the end of the bag, not the center, to keep the heat of your hands from melting the icing.

Step 3: Trace the edge of the cookie

Carefully trace a circle around the edge of the top of the cookie.

Step 4: Pipe vertical lines in the inside of the cookie top

Pipe vertical lines on the top of the cookie within the circle you've drawn.

Step 5: Smooth the top with a butter knife or spatula

Use a butter knife or small spatula to smooth the top of the cookie.

Tip: Let the first layer of icing dry before adding monograms or another layer of frosting.

Step 6: Add additional decorations

Add decorations, such as colored sugar, sprinkles, small candies, or chopped nuts. Wait for the icing to set, and then dig into your cute and tasty treats.
