...so what kind of cookies do you cover in fondant? Is this done with MMF? I'm not a big cookie maker but would like to try this so I am looking for a little guidance. Is there a recipe that works best?
Thanks a heap!

I did some leaf shaped cookies. I did the NFSC recipe and marshmallow fondant. Just cut the fondant out with the same cutter as the cookies. With the cookies still very warm lay the fondant on them it will melt on one side to adhere to the cookies.

I have used the No Fail Sugar cookies recipe from this site and it was good. However, I don't think it matters as far a better recipe as long as they are rolled cookies. It will save you time, imho, if you do cover them in fondant. I love the mmf and then outline if you want special details with royal or Toba glace (my personal fav).

HTH!

If you can't get the fondant on them while they are still warm what do you need to make the fondant stick to the cookie?

I use a little water on the back of the fondant or on top on the cookie.

Thank you so much for the reply! I never thought about water. I thought I might have to make some type of buttercream to use as "glue".

I've done the MMF on the cookies too. But I think I prefer all with Royal.. But my hubby thinks they look sooo much more professional with the mmf on them.

see the cookie pics in my photos. Both with MMF. I like the way mmf tastes, but am unsure of whether or not mmf saves any time...drying time, maybe. It seems like it takes twice the time b/c it's like making 2 whole batches of cookies, by the time you roll and cut out the mmf...(I do it before I do the cookies so when they come out of the oven, just stick on the mmf shapes!)

...so you just use the same cutter to cut your cookie shapes and fondant and you have your fondant ready to be put on as soon as they come outta the oven? Then decorate with whatever?

You can use these track jersey cookies I did to compare MMF with Antonia's royal for cookies.

The white band is MMF on both. The writing is royal on both. The background is one of each.

yup! got the idea from here on CC. so it's the PREP time that takes so long. You could probably do the mmf a day ahead of time, just keep it well covered with plastic wrap. After the cookies cool, you can either freeze them, or decorate with whatever like you say. I used antonia74 royal icing (and edible images on the logo cookies). Since cookies will spread slightly during baking and be larger than the mmf shape, you can "pat" the mmf shape to fit the cookie a few minutes after you put it on (if you put it on the cookie right out of the oven). I hope that made sense!

If you put the fondant on after the cookies are cool, you can brush the cookies with corn syrup to make the fondant stick. Doesn't taste at all. I got this from one of the cookie books I have seen.
