Fondant Cookie Recipe - what you need:

For the cookies, you'll need...

  • 100g unsalted butter, softened
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 30g cornflour
  • 300g plain flour

And for the fondant topping, you'll need...

Instructions:

Step 1: Beat the butter and sugar.

Beat together with an electric whisk for 4 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 2: Add the eggs and vanilla.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla.

Step 3: Add the flour.

Whisk in the cornflour and plain flour until the mixture comes together into a dough.

Step 4: Roll out and chill your dough.

Put the dough between two pieces of baking parchment, and roll out to a 6mm thickness using a rolling pin. Cut out your cookies and chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

Step 5: Pre-heat the oven.

While your cookies are chilling, heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas.

Step 6: Bake the cookies.

Bake for 7-10 mins. Leave to cool on the sheet for 15 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Roll out and cut your fondant.

Add some corn flour on your worktop and roll out the fondant to about 4mm thickness. Cut out your fondant.

Step 8: Attach the fondant.

With a food safe brush, add a little water to your cookie and add the fondant.

Step 9: Decorate!

Add some more water on top of the fondant and add sprinkles.
