This is a totally rookie question, but I want to try to make sugar cookies or shortbead cookies then apply RF. Do you put white RF on the cookies and then paint in the details with food color paste. Does anyone have any direction for me? Also I saw a recipe one time that was a cookie recipe for the perfect thick sugar cookies that doesn't spread. ( i'm bummed I never printed it when I saw it), anyone have a good cookie recipe. Thanks, Gina
you can put white or colored fondant on the cookies........I put it on the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven and the fondant melts onto the cookie and then sets up once it's cooled again. Then you can paint on them, draw on them with edible food pens, or decorate with royal or even melted chocolate......sky is the limit here are some of my cookies with fondant as a covering.......oh and the no fail sugar cookies are great!

Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to try them tonight. The cookies looks great. I like a thick cookie so hopefully they'll cook all the way without burning.
Mermaid, KHalstead is an excellent cookie maker and her advise I would follow. The NFSC (No fail sugar cookie) recipe and Penny's recipe are the best two I have tried so far. Both are on my top list.

You asked about painting on Fondant. That is basically all that I have done. I also use the Gourment writers for pattern transfer. The cookies I make are done with brush and Americolor. Your fondant doesn't have to be white to paint on (see my Peter Pumpkin cookie) You can see in my photos of what can be done with the painting with food color if that is what you were asking about. If you've painted with acrylics before then painting on fondant is a breeze. For just a few details can be done with the food color pens.
Hope it helps some.

KHalstead,
Did you letter every one of those little onsies?
You can use the royal to just ice in the cookies as well and "paint" with the royal icing. You can also let the royal harden and then go back over and use a toothpick dipped in the food coloring to add in details. That is what I did with these two cookies.... The faces and all the black sketching marks are made using the toothpick and food coloring.
I made some cookies covered in white mmf a few days ago. Then I painted them with food colouring paste mixed with vodka, but they stayed sticky. What am I doing wrong?
my guess would be that you used too much food coloring. You only need a little bit to color the alcohol. Did you use americolor or wilton? hands down americolor beats out wilton every time in my opinion.
