There are so many great cookie cutters available on-line that you can make your cookies any size and shape you like. Here we used a fluted 2.5 inch cutter for the cookie and then cut the fondant with a 2 inch cutter that wasn't fluted. I like to mix and match. You can buy the sets of square cutters on line at Instawares.
These tiny monogrammed cookies were being added to care packages that the bride was putting together. They were really cute, I love the small size. Notice I used the plain square cutter for the cookie and the smaller fluted cutter for the fondant. The fluted fondant really dresses them up.
All bagged up and ready for delivery. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me with any questions. I'm happy to help.

Beautiful idea...and probably tasty too!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, they are too good.
ReplyDeleteWhat a BEAUTIFUL ELEGANT COOKIE!...I was just wondering how you stick the fondant to the cookie?
ReplyDeleteYes, they are beautiful but I was wondering the same thing...how does the fondant stick to the cookie?
ReplyDeleteWater is the magic glue. Just lightly wet the cookie and the fondant sticks perfectly. I use a natural bristle paint brush to apply the water.
ReplyDeleteHow many cookies, roughly, will this fondant decorate? I am planning to make 36 and wonder if this will be enough or if I will need to double the recipe.
ReplyDeleteI love these! Can you tell me how far in advance you can make them?
ReplyDeleteYou can make the cookies several weeks in advance and freeze them. I would decorate them no more that 3-5 days ahead.
ReplyDeleteI have the same question...how many does this recipe make? I would love to make them for a shower I'm hosting in 2 weeks! They look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCan the fondant be dyed?
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly what I want to do for thank you "favors" for the nurses and visitors at the hospital when I have my baby girl this month. How many cookies will your mix make if I were to buy your shortbread sugar cookie mix? Also I am not good at baking and decorating, any advice on how to get a pretty monogram-other than practice??
