Decorating 101: Cookies - Photos

Many times just a simple decoration on your cookie shapes can be all you need. The easiest way is to make a simple buttercream is from 2 tablespoons of butter and enough powdered sugar and milk to make a smooth, but slightly thick icing that can be spread easily with a small spatula or butter knife. 

For storage, cookies need not be refrigerated.  The sugar acts as a preservative. This icing can be colored to make simple patterns on your baked and cooled cookies. Here's a step-by-step pictorial guide.
