MOTHERS DAY COOKIES

Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Cookies

1. Prepare the Dough: Follow the Big Batch Cookie Dough recipe instructions on the back of the Heart-Shaped Coo Kie cutter.
2. Roll Out Dough: Roll out the cookie dough to an even thickness of approximately 5 mm.
3. Cut the Shapes: Use the Coo Kie Heart Shaped Cutter to cut heart-shaped cookies.
4. Bake: Place the cookies on a lined baking sheet and bake according to the recipe instructions until lightly golden.
5. Cool: Allow cookies to cool completely on a wire rack before decorating.

Step 2: Covering with Fondant

1. Roll Out Fondant: Divide the fondant into two portions.
   - Dye one portion pink.
   - Mix the second portion with 50% additional white fondant to create a lighter pink shade.
2. Cut Fondant Hearts: Roll out each fondant colour to about 2-3 mm thickness and cut heart shapes using the same Coo Kie Heart Cutter to match the cookies.
   Tip: For beautifully rounded edges, cover your fondant with plastic wrap before using the cutter.
3. Apply Edible Glue: Lightly brush edible glue on the top of each cookie.
4. Attach Fondant: Place the fondant hearts onto the cookies, smoothing them down gently to adhere securely. Use edible glue or royal icing.

Step 3: Embossing the Word 'MUM'

1. Use the Sprinks Mini Alphabet & Number Embosser to carefully press the word 'MUM' into the fondant on each cookie.
2. Press firmly but not too deep to achieve a clean and readable imprint.
   Tip: If your letters shift too much while embossing, try placing small pieces of fondant around them on the holder to keep them securely in place.

Step 4: Decorating with Nonpareils

1. Apply Edible Glue: Lightly brush edible glue on the areas where you want to add texture.
2. Attach Sprinks Pastel Pink Nonpareils: Sprinkle or place nonpareils onto the glued sections, focusing on the top edges or corners for a decorative effect.
3. Set & Dry: Allow the decorations to set completely before handling or packaging the cookies.

Final Touches:

• Store cookies in an airtight container.
• Perfect for Mother's Day, birthdays, or special occasions!
