Cookies on their own are incredible. However, adding lettering or embellishments gives them that additional oomph that everyone knows and loves. Not only that, but they may be modified to seem like they came directly from the world’s most renowned bakery. But how do you go about it?
Writing on cookies isn’t as difficult as you would imagine. You can write on cookies like a pro if you have some wax paper, tissue paper, a projector, or a steady (and confident) hand.
Hello there! My name is Shea, and I’ve been making cookies for a long time. I began by experimenting with different tastes and textures until I reached the point where I wanted to write on my cookies as well. And now I’ll teach you how you, too, can do it effectively.
Get your pens (or should I say piping bags?) ready, and let’s get started!

How to Write on Cookies
While you may think, Wow, it looks professional, when you see a cookie with writing on it. That is something I could never accomplish. The simple reality is that you can. And it’s not as difficult as you think! There are four main approaches.
Projector – Most Expensive, Best Results
For writing on cookies, a projector is the ideal alternative. The projector, like the old-school types you used in grade school (am I revealing my age here? ), will display the picture directly onto your cookie. Simply trace it with your frosting and you’re done! Cookies that are picture-perfect.
The disadvantage of utilizing a projector is that it is the most costly choice. You do not want to purchase a low-cost projector. The graphics may not be clear enough to trace all of the features, or it may die midway through the cookie decorating process.
Go ahead and invest on a high-quality cookie decorating projector; you’ll be pleased you did. Check out this fun decorating video to learn how to use the projector correctly to write on cookies!
Tissue Paper – Cheap, Quick, and Easy
You didn’t imagine the tissue paper at the back of your Christmas storage closet would be utilized for cookie decorating, did you? Consider again! Technically, the color doesn’t important, but I recommend using white tissue paper so you can see better. Then proceed as follows.
- Make a print of your design. It might be text, a character, or anything else you wish to put on top of your cookies.
- Trace the cutout with tissue paper using an edible marker. Oh, you’ll certainly want to have some edible markers on hand for this!
- Place another piece of tissue paper on top of the biscuit and softly sketch it. Gently trace on top of the biscuit with the same edible market. You want to leave a stencil on the icing without harming it.
- Make a trace with your frosting. Connect the proper tip to your piping bag filled with icing and trace the cutout.
So, although this alternative involves a few more steps to complete, it is quite inexpensive. You just need tissue paper, edible markers, and a cutout of your selected pattern to make stunning cookies in no time. This video demonstrates how it’s done.
Wax Paper – Cheapest, Most Time Consuming
This final alternative takes a little more time, but it is unquestionably the cheapest. It’s also quite simple. You just need to complete the following:
- Print out your design or words.
- Place wax paper on top.
- Using an icing piping bag, trace the pattern or text.
- Set aside to dry.
- When completely dried, pull off the paper and set it on top of the cookie.
To get the letters or drawings to stay, you may need to add a little extra icing on the back. Also, use this procedure with extreme caution. The icing may easily crack, resulting in even more time spent tracing and drying.
Free Hand – No Cost, Least Precise
If you’re preparing cookies for your closest friend or don’t care about being too perfect, you may also free-hand write on them. Obviously, this is not the best option for professional cookies or cookies you want to sell.
When everything else fails, there’s nothing wrong with relying on your own hand to write wonderful messages on your cookies. You don’t even need a genuine piping bag for this. Simply poke or cut a tiny hole in one corner of a plastic bag and you’re ready to rock and roll (or write and create).
FAQs
When it comes to writing on cookies, you now have all of the information you need to succeed. Yay! But if you’re still curious about writing on cookies, keep reading. You may find some frequently asked questions (FAQs) below.
Of course, the finest thing to write on cookies is icing! However, before you start decorating the cookie, you may use a projector, tissue paper, or wax paper. All of them are fantastic solutions that provide professional-looking outcomes.
Instead, if you want to stamp words on cookies, just press the stamp into the uncooked dough. It should not be so difficult that the dough breaks. Do it carefully, but make certain that all letters are visible. To prevent smudging the lettering, lift the stamp straight up.
Obviously not! The strategies I outlined above are so simple that anybody can master them. So, don’t assume you can’t write on your cookies because you lack the artist’s touch. You certainly can!
Final Words
Writing on cookies is really rather straightforward if you have the appropriate equipment. The ideal solution is to utilize a projector, however tissue paper, wax paper, or free hand can suffice.
How do you write on your cookies?
FAQs
Print a sheet with your letter design on it.
Cover the design sheet with wax paper.
Pipe over the wax paper.
Set aside until thoroughly dry.
Make multiples since they sometimes break.
When the letters are dry, pull them off the wax paper and adhere them on the biscuits using royal icing.
My favorite tip size is #2; it’s fantastic for outlining and filling in. Use tip #3 or #4 for bigger cookies, and tip #1 for smaller cookies. For minimal mess, seal the top end of your piping bag with an elastic band.
Flowly is a camera-based tracing application that includes free fonts and shapes for cookie decorating.
To create decorated cookies
In a small bowl or plate, combine a few drops of vodka with a drop or two of gel food coloring. Brush the extra paint off with your brush. You’re all set to begin painting! Allow an hour or so for the cookies to dry after painting before packing.
Press the cookie stamps into the dough after dipping them in flour. Sprinkle more flour over the dough before pushing down if the stamp sticks. Excess flour is much simpler to remove than stuck-on dough!
To write on cookies, I use medium consistency royal icing. The frosting has a gentle peak. It should be thin enough to readily exit a tiny pipe tip, but not so thin that it loses its form.
Which piping tip is for writing?
We suggest writing on your cake using a piping bag and tip for the finest results. You may write your letters with any round tip, however smaller tips may make it harder to properly push the icing out, while bigger tips may result in a messy script.
Use edible food markers to design desired pictures on the cookies. Place a few drops of food coloring in a small dish or clean, food safe paint palette to paint on the cookies. To each hue, add a little amount of water. Using a clean, food-safe paint brush, paint biscuits.
