Choose a piping tip you will use and place it in the piping bag. Use a large one with sharp sides rather than a small one.
Pipe cookies of your desire. I like to make either long ones or rounds. Put the cookies in the oven and bake for about 15-17 minutes. Remove them, let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes, and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Bake all of the cookies in the same manner.
