I am a little confused. Love your show. I'm new to this decorating. I thought I had seen on tv that the outling for cookies is a thicker mix and the floating is thinner. Am I wrong, because the instructions I printed up say to outline with a thin icing. Also, I seem to remember you saying that one of the cookie doughs is better because it doesn't rise and make bumpy cookies. However, instructions say to use roll out dough. Thank you.
