Fondant Covered Cookies, Quilted Effect???
Baking By KatieTaylor77 Updated 15 Apr 2007 , 4:44am by cambo
I swear I saw some Easter cookies on here once that I really loved and wanted to try . . . but somehow I didn't save them to favorites!!! ARGH!
I can't find them again so I need to ask your help . . .
The cookies I saw were NFSC covered with MMF . . . then the artist had used various tools to make them look as if they were quilted. (Using the start tip, an edger, etc.)
How on earth do I do this??? Normally when I cover a cookie in MMF, I take the tray out of the oven and lay the MMF over the cookie immediately. I put them back in the oven just for a few seconds, until the edges soften a bit.
Do I let the cookies cool all the way and then try to add the quiltin effects???
HELP! I need to get these done tomorrow and don't have time to experiment too much.
Thanks!
Is this them? I took a liking to them too!

Is this it?
It looks like some were done before she cut the MMF and some done after the MMF was put on the cookies. Try sending her a PM and ask her.
I've done quilting on cookies (see below). I use a quilting stitch tool, although you could use an impression mat. When I put the fondant on the cookies, I wait until the cookie is completely cold. I cut out the shape in fondant, paint the back with water, then put it on the cookie. Then I quilt it.
I just made these for Easter..did Eggs, bunnies, flowers, etc. I used the no fail sugar cookie recipe...whilte they were baking, I cut out my MMF with the same shape cookie cutter and used my quilting tool and various tips to make impressions. When the cookies came out, I put the MMF on it, already quilted/decorated. Run your finger over the fondant so it adheres to the cookie...no water necessary. They were a huge hit!
I just bought a book that features fondant covered cookies. It's called the Flour Pot Cookie Book, and there are some cute Easter egg cookies in there. You should take a peek at their website - it's fantastic. www.flourpotcookies.com
Like BarbaraK mentioned what I do is that I cut the patterns I like and them add them to the cookies. If the fondant or MMF is too small for the cookie when using the cookie cutter I use a small rolling pin and strech it a little being very careful because the cookie may break. Then I just add the other details.
