I'm fairly new to fondant, so I was just wondering if any of you put tylose in your fondant that's going on sugar cookies? Since the fondant is going on a flat surface it obviously doesn't need to be as hard as it does for cake details/figures, so I was just curious.

Also, I hear that a lot of people leave their fondant decorated cookies sitting out overnight to dry/harden. Do you cover them with anything? The first few batches I've made I've stored in containers as soon as they were decorated because I was worried about bugs and/or the cookies losing their freshness but that obviously kept the fondant soft.

(p.s. I don't seem to be able to reply to any of my posts, so I apologise in advanced if the same thing happens with this post, and I thank you for your responses.)

I am ocd about freshness so I would not leave cookies out overnight -- and i'm in the u.s. where fondant is not as loved and accepted as it is in other parts of the globe so I usually use glazes or white chocolate or rolled buttercream on cookies -- i'd never use tylose in fondant to put on a cookie myself --

I also use edible ink markers to add detail to my cookies and I will also add enough milk to make a piping consistency to be able to pipe on characteristics onto cookies before baking  saving tinier details for the pens -- which is how I can get away with glazes --

feel free to start a new post to ask another question about this thread or respond in any way -- a lot of us already are aware about the thing where some of us cannot respond but eventually you will be able to -- no worries --

best to you

I see no need to use it for this   I’m all for saving $$!  Even the smallest amount—LOL

yeah what lynne said -- I mean if you are making a 3-d rose to put on it or something maybe but just flat -- nah

I would think you would want the fondant to stay some what soft because biting into hard fondant covered cookies sounds very unpleasant.
