| Fondant Cookie Cut-outs! |
Tip of the day!
For a clean look on sugar cookies, try fondant! Fondant is easy to work with, & our recipe tastes delicious! (Recipe below) Using the same cutter that you used to cut-out your sugar cookie shapes, roll out your fondant the exact same way & cut-out with the same cutter.
Use a bit of frosting or corn syrup to adhere it to the top of your baked cookies! Memorial Day cookies would be really fun using a star cutter & placing red, white, & blue fondant stars on top!
The Sweet Cherub’s Easy Fondant:
Don’t be afraid! It’s like playing with play dough, & no one will make fun of you if you
eat it!!!
In a large bowl in your microwave, melt together:
1- 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows & 4 Tbsp
water. (About 1-2 min then remove from
microwave & stir until gooey & sticky like marshmallow cream.)
Once completely melted, stir in:
1 tsp flavoring (like vanilla extract) & food
coloring of your choice, if desired.
Then sift into the marshmallow mixture:
1- 16 oz bag of powdered sugar. With a greased spatula stir to combine the
best you can.
Grease your hands, wrists, & fingers really well with
Crisco. Grease your counter really well also.
It’s going to be very sticky!!!
Dump the fondant mixture onto the greased counter, &
knead like you would with bread. Knead
until you form a smooth ball. (About 8
minutes.) *Use now, or store for up to
1 week.
When ready to use, roll out to ¼ inch thickness onto a
greased surface. Cut with cookie cutters,
or for a cake trim with a pizza wheel. Makes enough to cover
a 3 layer cake with some to spare!
A
clean piece of PVC pipe works great as a rolling pin!
*To store: Cover fondant ball with a light coating of
Crisco, & wrap in plastic wrap. Then
place inside an airtight container.
This
fondant tastes amazing! Not like the
icky store-bought stuff!
Have fun!
