I got a great tip from Paula Surrette on this site..
to decorate cookies with edible images..
just swipe a little melted white chocolate on the cookie and lay the image on top!
It works like a treat! you can see the technique on the cookies I made for my son with the game character on it.
My best tip for using MMF on cookies (which is my preferred method--RI and I have come to blows in the past)
is this...pull the tray out of the oven and put the fondant on the cookie, then WHILE STANDING VERY VERY CLOSE put the cookies back into the oven for about 20 - 30 seconds.
It helps me get the fondant to melt slightly.

What a cool idea! I am trying it 
What is the taste after letting it melt a bit? Does Wilton fondant do this as well? I have a box that I need to use up. (probably best to toss ... 
)
This is the one I use.. It is very tasty and economical.. I love the way it looks on the cookies and it dries pretty quickly too..
Here is my recipe for the sugar glaze. It dries hard enough to stack the cookies, but does not dry as hard as royal or color flow.
Sugar Glaze
2 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. water
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
almond extract or vanilla to suit your taste
Stir ingredients together well. This consistency is for outlining. Add additional milk or water (I usually add a few drops at a time) to thin down for filling in the outline.

I use this but with milk. I call it my modified Toba Glace. It dries perfectly and I don't have to worry about buying meringue powder or anyone getting sick from me using egg whites. Oh, and it tastes better to me than royal. Seems like I can always smell the egg and it affects the taste for me.
I have to mention that the recipe I posted for the cookie glaze wasn't my own orignial recipe..I must thank loree001 and sweeterbug1977 for sharing their recipe with me when I first started making my decorated cookies..

I just made 1/2 batch of antonia74's royal last night, and I can confirm what everyone else has said about the taste and texture. Of course, I used it to decorate a cake (writing) and it was a bit crumbly (if you're like me and accidentally bump into the decos), but I just know that it will be fantastic on nfsc. I purposely made this recipe so I would have extra for my cookies (whenever I get around to baking them). Kind of tastes like marshmellows/meringue cookies. Might be using this instead of mmf for cookies now! Also VERY easy to make.
Alrighty, I have made NFSC with Antonia74 icing. I love the icing but dont like sugar cookies! Sorry I am a chocolate chip kinda girl! I love mmf but have only used it as accents on cake. I am going to try NFSC with MMF next and then pipe with royal icing. There are just so many options! It has my curiosity why people dont use buttercream on cookies I love that stuff too. But for quick and pretty work I like Antonias icing. By the way, can royal icing be used the same way to pipe on cake and cookies as you would bc? I just dont like to get too involved using several recipes at once. Recipe to make the cookie, recipe for mmf to cover the cookie and royal icing to pipe accents! That is alot of work!IMHO!

This sounds like a great recipe. I especially like it because it does not contain milk or egg whites, two things I worry about leaving out on cookies for long periods of time with kids around.
Can you use it for details and decorations on cookies also? Or is it more for outlining and filling? THANKS!!!!!!!
GRRRR! My fiance is adament - "I want your REGULAR icing on my cookies" ie the bc recipe I inherited from the woman who did my first wedding cake. It *should* harden enough to bag, but not to stack. Plus, might have to smooth each cookie, and worry about the edges, which could get frustrating.
Any tips to make it harden up nicely?
Add some meringue pwd to it - a tablespoon or two when you are mixing it up - it shouldn't change the flavor, but it will help it crust and harden a bit.
