When you’re icing cookies, even if you’re just making little paw prints, lift your piping bag about 1/2 to 1 inch above the cookie when flooding instead of dragging the tip along the surface. Royal icing flows naturally like a string. This gives you smoother, more even coverage with fewer air bubbles and less mess!
Easter Sugar Cookies (GF) – Well Fed Baker

For outlines like these, touch the tip down to start your line, then lift the bag slightly and let the icing “lay” itself down. No pushing or dragging will give you straighter lines!
To speed up the drying process, you can place a small fan nearby on low. It cuts drying time and reduces the craters that keep your iced cookies from looking Pinterest perfect.
The right icing tips made all the difference for me. If you don’t already own a few icing tips, this set is super inexpensive and I come back to it all the time when I’m baking. Even if you’re an infrequent baker, having a kit like this is worth it for holiday baking alone.

Pro chocolate chip hack: Chill your cookie dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or even overnight. This gives the flavors time to develop a deeper, richer taste and prevents the cookies from spreading too much. This will give you thicker, chewier centers with beautifully browned edges.

To neatly cut cookie bars like these, chill the fully cooled and iced bars in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours if you’re somehow capable of waiting this long to dig in. Then use a sharp chef’s knife dipped in very hot water, wiped dry, and make straight down cuts. No sawing or dragging. Wipa and re-dip the knife in hot water between every single slice. This prevents the icing from sticking or smearing and gives you clean, baker-style edges.
