Ok you can laugh because I am...
Do I bake the cookies with the stick or insert them after removing from oven?
Also , I have printed out Penny's Cookie's recipe (from Penny's Pastries of Austin) in this recipe it also has a recipe for Royal Frosting and a BASIC GLAZE , does the cookies need a basic glaze before decorating?
You insert the sticks into the raw dough and then bake.
The cookies do NOT need a basic glaze before using the royal icing. (In fact I would be concerned that the glaze would negatively effect the Royal Icing)
And that is what we are all here for - to help each other - any laughs you hear are because we had the same questions once, or made a mistake and we are remembering the results!
Good luck with the cookies !
I wouldn't laugh! We have all asked those questions! Some people insert the sticks after but I prefer to do it before. I turn the cookie to the "back"side, lay the stick on it and cover with dough.
I don't use a glaze first. I think there are a few on here that do so maybe they can give you some advice on that.
Good luck!! Let us know what you decide.
