Things You'll Need
Canned frosting
Zip-lock storage bags
Tall glass
Scissors
Cookies
Using canned frosting is an easy and affordable way to decorate cookies. Because it has been sealed in a can, however, the icing can sometimes be too stiff to work with and may result in crumbled cookies. By quickly kneading the icing in a pastry bag, canned icing can become pliable and easy to work when decorating cookies.
Preparing Icing
Step 1
Place zip-lock bag with one corner down in a tall glass. Roll the opening of the bag around the brim of the glass.

Step 2
Place 3 to 4 tbsp. of canned icing in a zip-lock bag as close to the corner of the bag as possible.
Step 3
Remove the bag from the glass and let all the air out before sealing the glass.
Step 4
Massage and knead the icing with your hands so it becomes soft and workable.
Step 5
Snip off a diagonal section from the lower corner of the bag with scissors.
Step 6
Squeeze the frosting out of the bag and onto the cookies in a slow and steady motion.
Making Icing Flowers
Step 1
Squeeze out a dot of icing onto the center of the cookie.
Step 2
Squeeze out an oval-shaped ring of icing, starting at the top of the icing dot. Continue making oval-shaped rings around the icing dot until your flower is complete.
Step 3
Fill in the icing ovals with a different color of canned icing.
