Hi! Do any of you flood cookies so it covers the entire top surface... like put them on a rack and pour it over and let it run off so there's no cookie showing? Any tips?
I've been having trouble getting a nice round shape and I have to put borders on all my cookies to hide it. But I'd like to do some cookies without borders, too.
Thanks! Maria
I dip my round cookies sometimes. I get a small bowl a little bigger than cookie and dip it, then I use my finger to go around the edge to make it smooth and not drip. If I don't go around edge the drips stick to cookie rack and it is a messy edge.
Good Luck
sorry I can't help... I've never dipped, I outline and flood.
Hi Maria,
I haven't dipped, but I've had some success with keeping the icing consistency a bit thicker and using a spoon to spread. Depending on the shape of the cookie you can get a pretty even edge. Then I give it a bit of a shake, right away, so that the icing has a smooth/even finish as it dries. I found this to be quicker than outlining and flooding.
I've made the Wilton stacked cookie Christmas Tree several times and you pour the icing over the cookies. I preferred to set the cookies on a dixie cup pedestal and then poured the frosting over the cookie. As the icing started to set up I used a spatula to smooth off the drips. Hope this helps.
