Cookie Decorating Tip: Maybe I am the last one on the planet to find this out:

I spent the weekend with dear SIL Christmas shopping. We stopped at Borders and I bought the Cuisine Cookie magazine that is out now. It said when decorating cutouts with colored sugar--on the baked and cooled cookie--first lightly paint the portion of the cookie to be coated with warmed light corn syrup--HOW CLEVER! I never knew this, I always sprinkled by cookies BEFORE baking and most of the sugar would then fall off.

Has anyone tried this?

Love this idea! Will have to try it! Thanks for sharing!

Another tip if you have/make easy-peasy fondant: Use your cookie cutter

to cut out the same pattern and glue the form on the cooled baked cookie. Gives a perfect finish and you can even tint them, make impressions on the fondant, stack the fondant with various colors, etc.
