I have to make some heart cookies for a ladies activity at church Saturday, and I want to use mmf on them. How thin do I roll it? Do I cut out the mmf with the same cutter that I use for my cookies? How do I apply it to the cookie? While it's hot and let it "melt" on, or after it's cooled with some type of "glue"? I've only ever decorated cookies with royal, and have never sued the no fail recipe.

i'm not sure on thickness.
I would use the cookie cutter to cut the MMF out, cause it's the easy way to do it. And i normally attach the MMF w/a bit of corn syrup on it. I wait til they cool before i start decorating.

Here's a link to the post when I had a similar question . . . . I did MMF on NFSC and it turned out ok, but I prefer using the Royal Icing fill-in method anymore. Hope this helps . . . other CCers have used this method with much more success than I had!

I've heard that it should be rolled out to a 1/4 inch thickness and applied as soon as they come out of the oven!

Thanks...I have to decorate an entire batch of no fail hearts, and about 100 pirate cookies next week. I thought mmf would be easiest, but the link says it tastes bland and should use Antonia's or rolled buttercream. Any opinions?

The thickness for mmf is better if thinner--melts better and adheres. Also you can flavor mmf and it isn't bad. I have been using a combo of almond and vanilla.

I also do the the accents with antonia's. It dries nice. For the drop flowers they were not rock hard, but very stable.

I put some vanilla in my MMF, and rolled it nice and thin (maybe 1/16"). I think the cookies (NF) taste pretty darn good! I do want to try rolled buttercream, though, or flavoring MMF with butter flavoring (although I'm a little leery of fake butter flavor...(have never tried it)

I made the hearts last night, and the mmf was so easy! It was my first time using no fails, and they looked nice, but I think they're a little bland by themselves. I added vanilla and almond to my mmf, and they tasted good!

yeah, I guess I should say that I like the type of cookie that the NF's are...plain, buttery, soft-ish...LOL

maybe you can add more flavoring to the cookies? maybe an extra teaspoon of vanilla or almond if you like that sort of thing... icon_smile.gif

you can add flavoring to the cookies or to the MMF. I have used orange for mmf, it gives it a good taste.
