I used to frost sugar cookies by hand, that is, using an offset spatula with my buttercream frosting.
Then I had to frost a million sugar cookies.
And my hands got tired. Cookies got dropped. They didn't look very pretty.
Well, not a million sugar cookies, but a LOT of cookies.
Then I thought, "if cakes are frosted using a piping bag, why not cookies?"
Simple cake decorating supplies are inexpensive.
Start your collection with a Wilton 10 Inch Piping Bag
, which is my favorite size that fits comfortably in my hand.
Next, select your decorating tips. The one I use the most for frosting sugar cookies is Wilton's No.16 Open Star Tip.
The last thing you will need to purchase is a Wilton Plastic coupler
, a plastic ring that holds the tip in place to the decorating bag.

Ummmm....Well....does it look like a shamrock? Hmmmm....more like a green blob, doesn't it?
I have found it is best to outline your cookie, then fill it in.
Hold the bag at a 90º angle and outline your cookie.
Then hold the bag at a 45º angle and fill it in. I like to use a diagonal pattern.
There! Doesn't that look better?
