These are some of my favorite recipes for cookies and icing. I prefer a soft cookie with lots of flavor. These recipes give me consistent results and are crowd pleasers. They have been customized to fit my preferences, my oven, and my altitude. You may need to play with the recipes to make them fit your individual needs.
Tips:
Use a rolling pin with guide rings to get flat, even cookies. Bake on perforated silicone baking mats to prevent browning and spreading.
Tips:
Do not whip your icing, but mix in low speed until smooth. This makes it dry with a softer bite. Use gel colors to color icing. Check out this tutorial to learn more about icing consistency. Don’t take this lightly- icing consistency is the one thing that will make or break you when it comes to decorating cookies.
