Have been thinking about trying my hand at decorated cookies but I have no idea where to begin, except maybe cook a batch of cookies. Where do I go to find the beginners course! thanks...

Here's the best site (in my opinion) to learn about cookies: http://www.sweetopia.net/

Thanks FlourPots! I'll check it out.

You're welcome .

I think these are also good tutorials:

Thanks cindy58! I'll them out also.

I love sweetopia. She is awesome.

I love the NFSC recipe (No fail sugar cookie) and the RBC (Rolled Buttercream) recipe. Both are on this site. Good luck cookie baking...it is fun!
