I'm making cookies!! Well, I made these before I filmed the video but you get the point. This is going to show you how I decorate my cookies for Halloween. I am by no means a professional at this but I do love decorating them.
See how to make JUST the cookies here: • Basic Sugar Cookie Rec...
Find my cookie recipe here: monicadoes.com/recipes/my-suga...
Royal Icing Recipe:
4 cups of Icing Sugar (powdered sugar)
5-7 tablespoons of warm water
3 tablespoons of meringue powder
Mix all of the ingredients with a stand or handheld mixer. The stand mixer will mix faster. You will most likely be mixing for about 5-12 minutes. At first, it might look too dry or too wet. No worries. Just mix. You are aiming for stiff peaks. Once you get to this consistency you can add more water to get your icing ready for piping, flooding, and so on. Watch the video for a little bit of information on that.

I love this! A quick trick to use less food colouring for black is that colour develops and deepens over time so if you leave the black to set about a day, it'll actually turn darker. I usually make my black icing a day or two before I plan to decorate (it's a darker grey colour right after I mix it) because it really darkens to a nice deep black then and I don't use anywhere close to as much food colouring!

Cling wrap idea for icing, GENIUS! THANK YOU

@MonicaDoes 3 года назад

Press n seal works the best but I can't find it anywhere anymore. So sad.

@nbell3033 3 года назад

Wow, where have you been all my Life! I'm a beginner, needed some basic tips, didn't know why i was struggling. Now i know to mix the icing until there are stiff peaks, thank you for that! I have watched this over and over, still learning something new each time -thank you!

@MonicaDoes 3 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm so glad!

@kim2848 6 лет назад

I very seldom have the patience to watch a video all the way through, but you are so sweet, good at what you do, nice voice, I watched your video all the way to the end! I'm going to try this!

I’m gland this came up on my feed. Exactly what I’m looking for.

@usalas4 8 лет назад

Thanks for being real (and by that, I mean "not afraid of imperfections!) It made me feel like I could actually do this!

@MonicaDoes 8 лет назад

+Ursula Salas Thank you for noticing! That's my total point in posting these. There are some amazing cookie artists here, but sometimes it can be so discouraging to attempt what they do. These are cookies that ANYBODY can do. ;)

This was a great video!! My mom and I are tackling day of the dead cookies 😬 this video helped us a lot with the consistency of the Royal Icing! Thank you!

@bellah8393 8 лет назад

I loved your video. Everything was simple and easy to understand. I have made sooooo many iced holiday cookies over the years but they never look like the pictures on the recipes. Now I know how to do the "3D" effects like the lines on the pumpkins. Thanks for a great video. I will be watching for more.

@mary27578 4 года назад

@MonicaDoes 8 лет назад

+Mariel Button It's such a life saver!

@marielbutton7349 8 лет назад

It really is! I always just used regular wrap and it always crusted a little. I never thought to use press and seal. And never though to press it directly against it! This will save me so much hassle!

@marielbutton7349 8 лет назад

I love the fact you used your skin as contrast for the royal icing. wilton black gel works great. just let it sit over night to develop ♡ helps w bleeding..

@annettetolson8555 7 лет назад

Just find your video and it was extremely helpful. I learned so much that I was not doing with using the bags for filling the icing. Your cookies are so perfect..how did you do those. Is there a video for your cookies..

@chantellezammit5494 7 лет назад

woow good luck i really love them keep it up 😊😊😊😊👍👍👏👏

@catherinetimmerman5212 4 года назад

Super cute cookies! Love the icing in plastic wrap prior to going into the icing bag. Who knew?!?!? 🤷🏼‍♀️

@anna47007 8 лет назад

Very creative 👍🏻👍🏻

@AshleyWorld057 3 года назад

Love this video so informative 👏. I knew most of every, but i did realize that I have been puting on the coupler wrong like my whole life. Lol!! I would always but the tip and coupler in the bag. It just seems silly now. Hahaha. TFS!!

@MonicaDoes 3 года назад

That sounds like something I’d do. 😆 When it’s on properly, you can easily change the tip.

@AppleCreekAssn 8 лет назад

You are brilliant for the icing consistency! I'm still new at this and my two biggest frustrations are seeing the outline line and messing with flooding (it takes more bags and always ends up lighter than the outline!) You just solved both of those for me! Thank you so much!!

@MonicaDoes 8 лет назад

+Stephanie Jessie Thank you so much!! I use the same icing for flooding and outlining. If I want the outline thicker then I just split my batch and then add a little bit of water to the flooding batch. I add in teaspoons so that helps.

@anakaren1jg 7 лет назад

Te quedaron bien Bonitas

@Suzee46 6 лет назад

I've always been taught to mix my meringue powder and water (and cream of tartar) first until it gets foamy THEN add the powdered sugar and flavoring. Just might make it easier next time. Also, using a spray bottle of water for adjusting the icing consistency. To get a good black, mix it a day before because it darkens. Another tip, add all leftover colors to the black and it'll darken. To get crisp edges on a cookie, like the bat, you should touch down the tip on every corner. Happy decorating!!

@salimaameerullah1710 4 года назад

spooky szn is coming up and these were so cute 💞 i was wondering around how much cookies could you ice using the measurements you made in the mixer?

@bikinisarah1746 5 лет назад

loved this video. i have the same kit, but I didnt know how to decorate some of them (to be honest, i was not sure what some were). Can you do another video on some of the other popular wilton cutter shapes?

@MonicaDoes 5 лет назад

Bikini Sarah that’s a great idea!! You got it!

@kristenkeefe636 7 лет назад

Hello Monica. What is the best way to store the icing? and for how long? Thank you so much.

@Kwelar 4 года назад

Adding some jet black cocoa powder should help you get a deep black icing color without using so much food coloring.

@t-n-tkorpi4412 3 года назад

Thank you for this awesome video! When you ice cookies in sections like the pumpkins in your video, how long do you wait for the first section to dry? Also how long should I leave the cookies out to dry completely once I’m done decorating them? How to I prevent them from becoming stale and what’s the best way to package them if you’re bringing them to a party? Sorry for all of the questions! I am new to baking. Your videos are extremely helpful!!!😁

@MonicaDoes 3 года назад

T-n-T Korpi just a few minutes. They crust over pretty quickly. I usually just do that section on all the cookies then immediately start on the next section.

@kristenkeefe636 7 лет назад

Very nice :)

@HockeyXMom 6 лет назад

Excellent real-life video! Well done! Also....I bought the same cookie cutters and almost returned them because the shaped didn’t look that great out of the package but once I saw yours all cut/baked they looked great! Thanks again!

@MonicaDoes 6 лет назад

HockeyXMom so glad! I love when I can see real life stuff. 😊

@mariangies 6 лет назад

Hi and thanks for the video. How long does the outline take to dry? I love that video. You make it look so easy.

@MonicaDoes 6 лет назад

Maris Rios not long at all. Well, not long to move on to more decorating. To completely dry for travel takes a bit longer.

@pieapples1 5 лет назад

This is very easy to follow tutorial, from an absolute beginner’s perspective and she has taught from scratch. I have a question, currently my mixer is broken, can I mix the icing with a wooden spoon?

@MonicaDoes 5 лет назад

Thank you for your comment. You can make the icing with a whisk but it's a lot of work. This is how it was done in years gone by...lol. I wooden spoon wouldn't really work because you need the air but a whisk will definitely work. With hard work and patience, you can do it!

@keatonnugent9382 8 лет назад

Adorable :3

@annavicary8530 4 года назад

Loved this video, you are very creative (especially with the reusable bags option and mixing in the brown with orange - I would not have thought about that!). Feeling Inspired to get stuck in this Halloween!! Thank you xx

@MonicaDoes 4 года назад

Anna V thank you!!

@Sammy94628 3 года назад

Thank you forntaking the time to make this video. Question though, how long does it take the frosting to dry?

@MonicaDoes 3 года назад

Sammy94628 it takes overnight to dry completely unless you’re using a fan. If you’re just waiting to do the next color, it takes 10-20 minutes to dry on the surface.

@40msmoe 8 лет назад

@charlesharris3299 7 лет назад

hollyween cookies is my favorite

@starryeyedwish8005 5 лет назад

This is awesome! im bringing cookies to a potluck next weekend and ill be using these techniques. How long does the icing take to harden between layers?

@MonicaDoes 5 лет назад

For layers, you can build within a few minutes. For the final product, let it dry overnight. It will be dry to the touch within a few minutes but is still wet and soft in the middle.

@starryeyedwish8005 5 лет назад

Monica Does Thanks!

@sandradavis847 6 лет назад

Thanks.

@Bk-10 8 лет назад

thank you! another question, does this icing dry hard or does it have a lil softness when you bite into cookie.

@MonicaDoes 8 лет назад

+Stacy Chavez The icing isn't rock hard unless you let the cookies sit out for days and the cookies get hard. The icing is edible and doesn't break your teeth or anything. It's almost like a candy. I've never had anyone ask that before but this is a good question. I'll try to remember to break a cookie in an upcoming video to give others an idea of what it's like.

@xmaddiexdidxiitx 5 лет назад

sorry if this is a silly question, but i that just water you added to the icing? and how much did you add? great video!! 🖤

@MonicaDoes 5 лет назад

Not silly. It’s warm water. I start with 5 tablespoons and add more little by little if needed. A little goes a long way so don’t add more than a tablespoon at a time. In fact, try half of the tablespoon or even a teaspoon. The total amount added will vary for everyone. It even varies per batch.

@jadediva81 9 лет назад

why do you prefer one meringue powder instead of the other? is ther a difference in taste?

@MonicaDoes 9 лет назад

Really it's just about what I have on hand at the time. Each powder works differently. The amount of water you add varies per brand so once you have a brand you like you'll tend to stick to it. The taste varies slightly but isn't a big deal at all. Royal icing doesn't have much of a taste to me at all. It's just sweet. ;)
