STEP #4.
Cut out simple shapes with cookie cutters and bake them according to the recipe:
STEP #3.
Mix several colors of frosting and set aside... wearing jingly bell earrings adds a bit of Christmas music to the atmosphere:
STEP #4.
Once the baked cookies have cooled, tape all the way around the small snowflake stencil (LS26) with removable tape (RMT). I like to use removable tape because it is less tacky and easier to clean off the stencil later:
STEP #5.
Gently spread colored frosting into the holes of the stencil using the bottom of the palette knife (DPK). (The bigger the cookies, the easier it is for the kids to handle) :
STEP #6.
Remove the stencil off the cookie using the hinge technique, like when you are doing the embossing paste, so your frosting won't smear:
Here's Matilda with her own creations! YAY!!!
The type of stencils used for this technique have wide open holes in them. Stencils with tiny holes are too challenging for the kids to be successful with this technique (some adults have problems too). Here is a list of the stencils shown in this frosting fun tutorial:
LL399 antler snowflake, LL398 Southwest snowflake, LS26 small antler snowflake, LM297 ornament, LS79 star. And you can purchase these from your favorite retailer or online at www.stencilwithstyle.com
(Now all that is left is the clean up!)

Oh my goodness! These are fabulous! I can hardly wait for Ellie to be old enough to help me twitch cookies! What a great idea,
Those cookies look delicious and so pretty!! Aren't you the clever one to use stencils to decorate cookies!!
Wow Lynell, you definitely take stenciling to whole new levels. Thanks for the inspiration! Now to find a gluten-free sugar cookie recipe!
Over the top, now do I need a set of stencils for the kitchen too?!! Love it Lynell, love it. I never thought that far out of the paper box. Too cool.
lol, this is completely awesome!
These are beautiful! What a great helper you had, too.
These are just fabulous! Looks like you guys had tons of fun :)
What a great way to use the stencils! I never would have thought of using cookie frosting! Edible glitter and colored sugar would be good, too.
