Whether you’re a beginner or experienced cookie decorator, flower cookies are one that everyone should have in their repertoire.  They are perfect in a group but also work well as a stand-alone design.  Flower cookies are a great way to add color and interest to any theme without investing a lot time and effort.

Perfect Flower Centers with IcingDecorating was as easy as outlining, filling, then dropping on a center.  The key is to work quickly.  If you need to make any adjustments, use a small pointed tool such as a turkey lacer or boo-boo stick to gently reposition the center.
