My bosses wife wants me to make Fleur de Leis cookies for her web site photo shoot, since I make cakes. I have no idea how to make a pretty cookie. She gave me the cookie cutters, and wants several different colors, for different season's. They don't have to taste good, just look good. 
Hope these links will give you a start...
I use the no-fail sugar cookie without the leavening, and add double the vanilla. Be sure to freeze the pan before cooking to ensure no spreading. Good luck!

Ask if you need more help.
I just did some tiny fleur-dis-lis cookies in a recent cookie club entry. Check my pix to see if they are close to what you need.
Somebody did a great job....maybe I should just buy them, and tell her I made them. I am going to try it this weekend, I'm going to try putting Fondant on hot cookies, then I am going to try trimming with Royal icing, then flooding them...lI'll let you know how they come out... 
Why would you put fondant on hot cookies?
If you put fondant on cookies right out of the oven, the heat from the cookie will soften the fondant underneath enough that as the cookie and fondant cool, then the fondant becomes adhered to the cookie.
Well, it didn't come out so great. First I tried a rolled sugar cookie from the store, I cut them, then baked them, and they spread to much. So I tried to freeze them before baking them, they did better, but still not what I was looking for. I cut a fondant out with the cookie cutter, and put it on the cookie, and it was terrible. I am going to try to find a recipe for a cookie to make a better cookie. Try starting from scratch again.... [/quote]
Jackie, use the no fail sugar cookie recipe , it's in the recipe section. Most of the cookies you see on here are that recipe or Penny's. Like 7yyrt said, these don't spread like other cookies!
