Letās discuss the 7+ sugar cookie decorating ideas
1. Cookie Cutter Flips. Fun. Creative. Satisfying. Need I say more? We all love browsing the endless ways we can reuse cookie cutters for more than their intended shape.

Flipping cutters gives great ideas. Couple that with morphing and youāre really on a role!
2. Cookie decorating videos. Enjoyable. Relaxing. Zzzzz. As a cookier, we canāt get enough of these videos. Right?

3. Who doesnāt love cute sugar cookies decorated? Sweet. Charming. Precious.
I find baby shower cookies to be some of my favorites to decorate. Especially when my customer says āthis is the theme, run with it'. Arenāt those the greatest customers?

The great thing about these cookies is you donāt have to have certain shapes. The right sugar cookie icing recipe, (or a great glaze recipe) of course comes first. Basic shapes are usually the best so youāre not constricted.
With this list of Sugar Cookie Decorating Techniques, the ideas are never-ending.
4. I've fallen in love with cookie platters. My customers love them = win-win! They are growing ever popular. I have bought a lot of them from Semi-Sweet Designs, like this tray:
baby bunny and chick Easter or baby shower theme5. Simple Decorated Sugar Cookies. Simple does not have to mean humdrum. Often, the less complex the cookies, the sweeter or more beautiful they are, like this baby unicorn cookie. The baby unicorn is a royal icing transfer that you can get in Shop Gotta-havs! with more options.

Sugar cookie with food markersIām so used to decorating sugar cookies, that when I get so involved itās hard to stop. I often forget simple is sweet.
6. Sugar Cookie Designs. Even trying to think of the simplest designs can cause our minds to freeze. Are Google images and Pinterest your best friends too?
*Click here to go to Royal Icing Flooding. This page gives you many tips and hacks to make sure your cookies turn out perfect with no color bleed.
Sometimes just having a design pattern on a cookie is all it needs.
Food color markers will come in perfect for patterns of design. That link will take you to a page where I compare 7 brands of edible markers to see which ones work best.
At a loss for designs? Have you checked out sites like Shutterstock?
Please be careful not to copy the images. Iām suggesting sites like this to only gain inspiration from. There is, of course, the option to purchase with a license.
7. Unique Sugar Cookies. Interesting. Compelling.
I love unique sugar cookie decorating ideas. I could spend hours looking through unique cookies. Some cookie artistsā talent is beyond words.
These 2 crosses are made with plastic suncatchers bought at Walmart. I impressed the image into the cutout shapes before being baked. I then decorated with colors the customer chose for a baptism.
This is a photo of a display at Walmart I took. It shows all their suncatchers. They are .88 each at the time of writing this page.

Trying to think of unique cookies to decorate?
Always remember, an edible cookie image can get you out of a mind freeze too.
One tip is to be ever-mindful of things in life around you. For instance, as I changed my physical calendar on the first of the month, I saw a gorgeous photo of a flower I want to emulate. Fingers crossed.
If something positive or funny hits the news, immediately try to capture the theme with a cookie to post on your social media.
If you are at a store in the sewing or clothing department, look at the print. Love it? Can you put something like it on a sugar cookie?
How about a very popular article of clothing, like boots or a blouse? If you love it, snap a picture of it and put it in your swipe file.
By the way, if you donāt know what a swipe file is, itās a fast go-to running list of ideas. Everyone needs a swipe file! I keep a file on my desktop labeled 'Swipe File'.
You can take any ordinary cookies and put them on a stick too.
Have you thought about these sugar cookie decorating ideas?
1. Skip right over to Picsvg. This amazing and super easy online tool is free! You can't go wrong with anything. It's all done for you. I love this tool.
Once you upload a photo or image, it populates the SVG for you. You can tweak it a little here and there if you want. Then just download and you're ready.
What do you do with the resulting SVG?
If you have a cutting machine like a Cricut, you can easily make a stencil.
You can also use it with a projector to trace it on a sugar cookie.
It can really 'wow' a customer by getting something so personalized, like an engaged couple on wedding cookies or a birthday or anniversary of someone. Pretty slick huh?
2. Yes, the set of cookie cutters can be quite expensive for just 2 or 3. But if you just have a candy corn/pie shape cutter or even a stick cutter, you can easily make a scene with one cutter!
Mini cookie sticks with mints insideThe nice thing about cookie cutter platters though, is you only need to purchase 1 or 2 cutters, just one if you have a circle or another shape for the center cookie. This is the one I did for the 4th of July: (the image is a link to that page)
As this site will be a never-ending site, meaning I'll always be adding new pages, I try to add to different lists, ideas, tips, etc. on already published pages as I think of them. So keep checking back!
