ok, I am back with more questions ...
I want to try MMF on my cookies, now that I can handle royal icing ..
I cant use marshmallows due to the gelatin in them (vegetarian). I have a recipe for fluff fondant from the fluff cookbook -
________________________
FLUFF FONDANT
In small bowl mix one 7 1/2-oz. jar Marshmallow Fluff with 1/4 tsp.
vanilla. Gradually stir in enough confectioners' sugar (about 2 c.)
until stiff enough to knead. Knead until mixture loses stickiness,
adding more confectioners sugar if necessary. Put fondant in a
bowl or jar; place a damp cloth over it and cover tightly. Store in a
cool place 2-3 days before using . Makes 3 1/2 cups.

Has anyone tried this recipe? Any hints on working with it? I have never used fondant before .. I am waiting for class 3 to come around to my area ... but I want to try working with it ....
Thanks for any information!
marshmallow fluff doesnt have gelatine??
i dunno, never had marshmallow fluff, just wondering ; )
Nati
yes Fluff has no gelatin in it ..

What is Fluff made from?
Corn syrup, sugar syrup, vanilla flavor, and egg white. There are no artificial preservatives, stabilizers, emulsifiers, or colorings in Marshmallow Fluff.
There is a recipe for Easy Marshmallow Fondant made with the fluff instead of marshmallows. It's a little different than you have here and I have never made it but have read in a few other thread it is as good as MMF and you don't have to prepare it 3 days in advance.
Just a thought
Hi, I've tried both, the Fluff Fondant and the MMF, I honestly did not like the Fluff Fondant as much as I liked the MMF, it is not a taste factor but how hard it is to work with, I didn't use it for cookies, I covered a 10" round cake and had the hardest time, but since it is for cookies and all you will be doing is cut-outs and small decorations you should be fine, as the only problem I had with the Fluff Fondant was to roll it into a big piece to cover the cake, it kept on breaking appart, it is not as elastic as the other ones. This was my experience, hope yours is a lot better. And I did follow the recipe on this site. Good luck!
Would this work on cookies? Is it more like a buttercream frosting? Would I be able to work with this as far as shapes are concerned?

The recipe on here is the same as the one I used, just basically doubled.
I tried making it, the smaller recipe, lol ... to see how it comes out ..
Is it supposed to have the consistency of play-do? How thin do you roll it for a cookie topping?
