I have a question about decorating cookies covered in Rolled BC.
I am going to cover the cookie in Rolled BC so what do I use to make the accents (decorations, details) on the cookies? Royal icing or Rolled BC

I would use royal icing. It seems to me royal icing would be easier and I think it would attach better to the Rolled BC

hmm sounds yummy - I haven't done that before. Do you put buttercream down on the cookie first so that the rolled buttercream will attach?

yes to both questions. I use royal icing--especially if they have to stack. and found out the hard way to put a dab of buttercream or royal on the cookie before the rolled bc. otherwise, it's like having a cookie cookie and an icing cookie!!

All of my cookies were done with rolled buttercream attached w/a small, tinsy winsy amount of corn syrup. I've always done accents w/royal icing. I've just recently tried Antonia74's icing for the whole cookie, wonderful! I'm not sure if I'll be using that exclusively for the rest of my cookies but it sure is great! Post some pictures of your final product!

Thanks everyone.
I actually ended up usig MMF that I attached to the cookie with water and I accented (decorated) them with royal icing. I think I like this cookie decorating thing. I will be doing them more often. Here are a few samples I made for the girl and she loved them, she want 40 - 50. Now my question is how much should I charge for each? I had to cut the cookie out from a template because I don't have the cutters and she wants them individually wrapped and labeled. Please help with any suggestions. The cookies are 5 1/2" long.

Thanks

What's the process for putting the RBC on the cookies? Do you cut it with the cutters, or...??
Sorry, having a hard time getting my head around this one, but it sounds useful. I've got 100 cookies to do later this month.

jmosquera...........I would put them in idividual bags tied with ribbon....or a really nice way to display them is to print out on card stock on a computer a nice picture and any message you want and fold it over the top of the bag and just staple it.....looks store bought and very nice!! Hope that made sense??

oh and as for the templates..........I have made my own cookie cutters out of aluminum flashing.....very easy!!! I made a onsie one just like the template you have and it was incredibly simple and it's a lot quicker that cutting each one with a template!!

Actually Fondant or RBC is easier.. You get exactly the same shape than that of your cookie because you use the same cookie cutter to cut the Fondant or RBC that you used to cut your cookies. and you don;t have to wait for it to dry before you can decorate..I use powdered sugar and water as my glue..brush very light (top of the cookie) and lay your cut RBC or Fondant. I love it.. it never fails. No risk of drips on the sides or overflowing. and very quick and convenient.. just me !!
