Don't put yourself down; it looks like those cookies were piped with exactly one star tip.ngl, those cookies are very aesthetically pleasing and I'd love to have a tray of those sitting around (and nibble on one a day). It shows that her mother has some decent talent when it comes to decorating baked goods at least to me
Given multiple colors of frosting, either Mom owns a drawer full of exclusively that star tip in that size, or she bought the gross pre-bagged frosting that comes with a plastic star tip. Someone who was thorough enough to wash the same tip in between bags would at least swap in a small round tip for cuffs and collars and ornaments on the tree.
This is way too much frosting, and I'm an American too. This is more frosting per square inch than if you applied it judiciously with a spatula. Also, these are cakey sugar cookies, not gingerbread. Unless those cookies were stone cold when decorated, they're soggy already; if they weren't being eaten immediately, they'd be that way in the morning.
Less is more with cookie icing, unless you're a commercial baker or a four-year-old being drafted to help for the very first time. The cookie is sweet enough; you just want a little accent in taste and appearance.
