before you roll it outand cut it and bake it. big time saver here. if you wanna bake fromscratch, and you wanna do it more quickly than normal,use wilton's no chill cookie dough recipe. you can get it righthere, and you can save all of that time. it makes great, beautiful cut out cookies. tip number two.
if you want to make a lotof cookies really quickly, use a cookie press and a mega cookie pie. a single batch of spritzcookie dough is going to make between seven and ten dozen cookies. that's a ton of cookies. (blows) super fast. and that's because youcan put up to four dozen spritz cookies on this mega cookie pan. tip number three.
sprinkles, icing decksand other pre-made candies are your friend. use them liberally todecorate with no time at all. they add color, flavor and fun, and they're super easy to do. and make it snow. my fourth tip for lastminute cookie decorating is to use candy melts. candy melts are awesomebecause they set up
really, really quickly, unlikemost other cookie icings, especially royal icing, whichcan take up to eight hours or longer to dry. if you decorate with candymelts you get them to dry super quickly, and they taste awesome. candy melts are alsogreat because they come pre-colored so they'reready to go for the holiday, whether you need red,green, white, light cocoa. they also come in a coupleof great flavors seasonally.
they're limited edition. we have sugar cookie, andmy favorite, candy cane. and if you don't have timefor any of these tips, tip number five is even simpler. set up a fondue station using a candy melting pot at your party. all you have to do is putsome light cocoa or dark cocoa candy melts into the pot,set it melt and then to warm after they're nice and fluid,and then just serve it with
