How Do You Bag Frosting For A Cookie Tree?
If you bag frosting for a cookie tree rather than spread it with a knife, you can save yourself time and reduce messes. Frosting in a bag, also called piped frosting, is easier to manipulate, allowing you to make artful designs on your cookie tree. Obtain a quart-sized plastic bag with a zipper top. Reach inside and make sure the bag is fully open. Scoop frosting from your mixing bowl into the plastic bag. Avoid the mouth of the bag and place the icing as close to the bottom as possible. Frosting around the mouth can interfere with closing the bag. Fill the bag no more than 3/4 full. Overfilling can cause the bag seams to give way as you squeeze the frosting, creating a mess. Remove any frosting stuck to the spoon by inserting it into the bag atop the cookie frosting. Use your fingers to slide the frosting off the spoon and into the bag, using the plastic as a barrier to keep your hands clean. Close the zipper top most of the way, leaving a 1-inch opening to release air. Press down on
