I havent used them on cookies, but I love the squeeze bottles for my flo icing, when doing other decorations. For me they are easier to control then the bag.. plus the bag keeps on flo-ing when you set it down, or place in a cup to hold. 
I always end up with three inches of flo-icing in my cup with a bag.
I do the squeeze bottles and use the tip of it to push the glace around if needed. I have a couple bottles that I've cut the tip a little wider for flooding but use the skinny bottles for the outlines. And when I'm switching from one bottle to the other constantly, I don't stand them up. I just lay them on their sides.
have you guys tried this? there are several and they come with different tips

Squeeze bottles! Much less mess, and as mentioned, no messy run-out or leaks. I've got a couple of bottles with built in couplers so I can change tips. I really like those.

Where did you get them? That sounds like something I could really use, but have never seen them.
Squeeze bottle work GREAT. And if you use the ones that CK Products sells you can use different size tips on them. I love these bottles and only use these to do my cookies. They come in 2 sizes, small and large. I just pour the icing in the bottles or if the icing is a little thick I put the icing in a plastic decorater bag and cut a hole in the bottom and squeeze the frosting in the bottles then just rise out the bag and reuse it.
Love the bottles!
I use the CK bottles. They come 2 to a package.

I buy them in a shop I get most of my decorating supplies. Not sure if the hobby stores carry them or not and I don't think there is a brand name on them. I'll ask next time I'm at the store.
Ok, I went searching and found them. Here's a link. http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/decorating-squeeze-bottle-8-ounce
I love 'em!
To fill my bottles, I use a bowl with a spout on it to mix up my glace. I tip the bowl, getting all the icing headed in the right direction, hold the bowl up high and the icing goes right into the bottle and when it's almost full, I get the spatula ready to stop the flow. I think this might take some practice, but I've mastered it and it's the only way for me!

Thanks 
I've just ordered 6 of each of the two sizes of bottles from coppergifts.com. For september only, it's $6 shipping on all orders that can be boxed together in one pkg.
I am SO excited to start using these bottles. I've never had great luck with smooth lines using pastry bags on cookies. And the fact that you can use any standard-size tips you like with them, lends a great deal of versatility imho.
I love the squeeze bottles. They are quicker, easier, and less of a mess for decorating.
I appy the RI backing color with a spatula and use the bags for the detail work. Much fewer things to fill and clean, it's faster and less icing on each cookie. They are so sweet already - less icing is okay.
I prefer a bottle for flood icing I can work with one hand and when I set the bottle down there isn't icing flowing out like with a piping bag.
I also like how it stands right up when I pour the icing in unlike the bag that you need to prop up to get the runny icing into it.
