How to make cookies decorated with fondant

We make butter cookies

• Put the sugar and butter in a bowl and mix very well for several minutes until the sugar is integrated
• Add the egg, salt and essence and mix again
• Add the flour together with the baking soda and knead very well.
• Divide the dough into three parts and wrap with plastic wrap, store in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
• Once the dough has cooled, we take out one of the portions, remove the plastic wrap and stretch it out, it is best to do it between two baking papers.
• So that all the cookies have the same thickness you can use a roller with stops or put some guides

We bake the cookies

• With a flower-shaped cutter  like these , cut the cookies
• With the excess dough you knead again and you can continue using it.
• Carefully prick with a wooden skewer and place on a baking tray.
• Put the tray in the fridge for another half hour.
• After that half hour, we bake with heat up and down at 180º C for about 10-12 minutes (do not let them brown so that the cookies do not stay hard)
• Remove from the oven and let cool on a rack.

We decorate the cookies with fondant

• Once the cookies cool they harden a bit and the skewer doesn’t move.
• To decorate them this time we have chosen as a motif some simple white daisies.
• We stretch the fondant with a roller and with another special cutter for fondant like these we cut the fondant
• We put it on the cookie pressing carefully so that it sticks.
• In the center we put a ball that we flatten with our hand and decorate with a little yellow sugar of this type

If you want to give them away, you just have to choose a flowerpot, put green tissue paper and place the cookie flowers.  So that they do not move, you can put a little foam, cork or kitchen paper in the center.

fondant for cookies

• We take a small portion of fondant and add a little red food coloring, very little so that it remains pink.
• We knead the ball well to distribute the color well
• We put a little Cornstarch on the table and stretch the fondant with a rolling pin.
• Cut several circles with the round cookie cutter to decorate the cookies.
• We do the same with the blue food coloring, cutting out circles to make blue cookies.
• Finally we take the yellow dye and follow the same process, but this time we cut with the star-shaped cookie cutter.

We glue the fondant to the cookies

• With a little water we paste the circle of fondant on the cookie
• Cut a small circle with the help of a straw, making it coincide with the circle of cookies.
• We paste the stars with a little water and make pink and blue balls with the fondant and paste them on the cookie to decorate.
