Kite Cookies
Did you know the National Kite-Flying Day is observed annually on February 8th? Why not make these delicious Kite Cookies to make for this special day!
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- Your favorite recipe for sugar cookies enough to make about 1 dozen
- 3-4 oz. purple fondant
- 3-4 oz. yellow fondant
- 2 oz. black fondant
Instructions
- Roll out your cookie dough using a rolling pin and cut out twelve diamond shapes using a diamond-shaped cookie cutter. Bake according to recipe directions.
- Before you begin decorating, you must ensure your cookies are fully cooled. The best way to achieve this is by using a cooling rack which cools the cookies throughly fast from both above and below.
- Roll out the purple and yellow fondant with a rolling pin so that they’re each about a quarter of an inch thick.
- Using the same diamond cookie cutter you used to cut the diamond-shaped cookies, cut out six diamonds of each fondant color.
- Cut each fondant piece in quarters using a paring knife. Press each one onto each cookie, alternating colors.
- Roll out twelve spheres from your black fondant, about a quarter of an inch in size. Then, roll it out so that each one is about three inches in length.
- Press your black fondant “string” onto the end of each cookie.
- To make the bows for the cookies, roll out small spheres from each color. You’ll need 18 spheres of each color. Shape 24 of them, forming them into triangles and place 2 on each cookie.
- Press a sphere in the center of the two triangles – now, you have formed your bow.
- Serve and enjoy!
