? about icing sugar cookies
do you just spread the icing on or do you pipe it on with a decorating bag and tip? It always looks so smooth on the cookies I see. I don't know if spreading it on with a spatula will give me those results?

Re: ? about icing sugar cookies
most likely, if you are seeing a smooth icing on a cookie....its more of a glaze than a frosting.

no it's not a glaze it's called royal icing. It's the hardened icing that's used to decorate cookie (among other things). It's almost like a frosting but it dries hard, it looks like this:

No, don't spread it on. Use a decorating bag and try to make the icing a little "looser" if that is the look you are going for. For piping, you want the icing a little thicker. It's trial and error to get the right consistency.
