Instructions

Prepare Cookies: Start by baking your favorite cookies and allowing them to cool completely. Whether it's classic sugar cookies or flavorful gingerbread, ensure they are completely cooled before decorating.
Ice Cookies (Optional): If you prefer, spread a thin layer of icing on each cookie. This step is optional but can provide a smooth surface for applying the fondant and add an extra layer of sweetness to your treats.
Prep Texture Mat: To create beautifully textured fondant toppers, lightly spray the texture mat with cooking spray. Ensure that the entire surface of the mat is evenly coated to prevent sticking.
Roll Fondant: Roll out your rolled fondant or other rolled icing on a clean, smooth surface. Aim for a thickness of approximately 1/16th inch. This will ensure that your fondant is thin enough to conform to the texture of the mat.
Apply Fondant to Texture Mat: Carefully place the smooth, rolled side of the fondant face down onto the prepared texture mat. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles to ensure a clean impression.
Texture Fondant: With the fondant on the texture mat, use a rolling pin to roll firmly from one end to the other. Apply even pressure to ensure that the texture of the mat is transferred onto the fondant.
Cut Fondant Circles: Lift the mat and the fondant together, then flip over the mat so that the fondant is on the bottom and the mat is on top. Peel back the mat to reveal the textured fondant. Use a circle cutter from Autumn Carpenter Cupcake Top Fondant Cutters to cut fondant circles of the desired size.
Place Fondant on Cookies: Carefully transfer each textured fondant circle onto the prepared cookies. Gently press down to ensure that the fondant adheres well to the surface of the cookie.
Paint Fondant Toppers: Use small food-safe paint brushes to paint the textured fondant shapes with the luster dust mixture. Apply the paint in light, even strokes to highlight the intricate details of the poinsettias, Christmas wreaths, and Christmas package bows.
Allow to Dry: Let the painted fondant toppers dry completely.
Final Touches: Brush the fondant toppers with a pearl luster dust to enhance the festive look of the cookies.
Add Contrasting Colors (Optional): For added visual interest, consider using food color markers or thinned royal icing to add contrasting colors or intricate details to the fondant-covered cookies. Allow any added colors or decorations to dry completely before handling.
Enjoy: Your beautifully decorated cookies are now ready to be enjoyed! Whether you're serving them at a holiday gathering or packaging them as gifts, these decorated cookies are sure to impress with their festive flair and delicious taste.
