I made my first batch of mmf this past weekend. I rolled it too thick so next time I will make it thinnner. I am learning. Some of the cookies with mmf look shiny-almost like they were iced with royal. Whoever made the "fashion cookies" did a great job and they look different than mine. I want mine like that(and other too!!! icon_lol.gif ) I want gorgeous cookies!!!!!!
I also was going too fast and thought it was 2 TSP of water and not 2 TBSP so I had to add to the first batch. Amazing how the right amount of water makes it more pliable!

I tried the small batch first but it did not have enough for the KA to mix so that was kinda a waste. So when I doubled it, worked great.


Any hints would be great!

I asked the same thing:

I got a nice sheen by rolling it out with Pam instead of powdered sugar...
