i recently made some cookies and iced them with the initials of some friends i was sharing them with, and wanted to share a picture in this sub for any tips and tricks!!
i struggle with keeping a steady hand and even amount of icing being piped when i first outline the cookie's shape before flooding

Awesome!! That’s really solid work for a first go! Do more and experiment with smaller tips for writing and small details. It looks like your consistency for both flooding and lines were great for your project. You’ll figure out the amount of pressure to apply on the piping bags for each area of your projects as you try more. Your hands will cramp and get stronger… the shakiness may or may not get better. Try holding your icing bag higher up- it helps smooth the wiggles of your icing. Watch so many tutorials from a bunch of different cookie artists. My biggest problem when I started was icing consistency- I felt like it was never the same twice. Make your whole batch stiffer than it should be and thin it as you go for your project. Be proud of your work and eat your mistakes. Those are the most delicious learning experiences.
