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.

  • We put the cookie dough on baking paper, and on top of the dough we put another sheet and with a rolling pin we stretch the dough.
  • We cut with a round cutter, and with the help of a straw we make a small hole.
  • Bake at 170ºC heat up and down for 10 minutes.

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.

Finally we pass a loop through the hole. And now we have the fondant cookies ready to play and enjoy eating!
