I have a client wanting this effect on cupcakes. I'm not even sure how they did it on the cookies. Any ideas/advise would be greatly appreciated!!
Could be an edible image or stencil (houndstooth)...both sold here: http://www.globalsugarart.com/search.php?search=houndstooth&searchimage.x=17&searchimage.y=2
I would either get the stencil or the transfer sheet from GSA and then roll fondant, apply it to a whole piece of fondant and then cut circles as big as the cupcake. Then i would either pipe the monogram on royal icing or use tappits to cut the letters.
i think it is some type of drop method on to royal icing and then, using a toothpick, made to look like it has those lines on the side.I've seen pastry chefs use it to decorated plates with different sauces..i'm sure there is an edible image with that design to put on a cupcake.
They are from amberspiegel's blogspot. Here are some close up pictures.

I agree, if you look at the close-up photos that 7yyrt posted, the cookies look like they're decorated with royal icing using that method. Not sure what the method is called exactly...but I've seen it done with desserts.
Here is a site that shows step by step, monograming too.....
