You can always do the decoration on wax paper with a template of the cookie underneath. Then when the frosting is dry transfer the decoration carefully from the wax paper to the cookie. Add a little drop of water or a small Danb of frosting to the cookie so the decoration will stick to the cookie.@ Joanne:

Thank you soo much for these tips! My hands tend to shake quite a bit so outlining cookies used to be really frustrating for me, but after using your tips (especially the ones about icing consistency and lifting the bag), it’s like there’s a whole new person decorating my cookies. Thank you!
