ok, I am back with more questions ... icon_biggrin.gif

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!

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?
