I am wanting to learn how to make cookies like the ones I've seen on here. However, I don't know where to start. I already make cakes, I don't know if that will help any. But I wanting to try something new. Can anyone give me advice on where to start?? Thanks in advance.

In the recipe section, there is a great sugar cookie called No Fail Sugar Cookie (NFSC) I would recommend starting with that.

many use Antonia74's Royal Icing to flood and decorate

some use Toba's Glace (i prefer this one)

And there is a tutorial on here about how to cut, bake and decorate the cookies
