I imagine that there are as many methods of decorating cookies as there are decorators! I recommend experimenting with many different methods to figure out what works the best for you. There is no "wrong" way of decorating. As long as you are comfortable with the process and happy with the outcome, it is right for you!

I've divided the "How to" section into several different pages that cover everything from rolling out the dough, to setting up your work station, to packaging and shipping your little creations, and hopefully everything in between. Feel free to browse through and see what interests you. If there is anything you are wondering about that you don't see here, please check out the F.A.Q. page or email me (karenATmsummersDOTcom) with your questions. Also, be sure and check out The Cookie Board to get tips from other decorators.
