Painted Cookies~



Our Mary..taught us how to paint cookies a number of years ago now..I still enjoy the process..I wanted to make a few for the tree:) and as gifts..I used fondant this time instead of icing..I wanted to do them NOW:)




They are so much fun to do..you simply use food coloring..and paint away..I used the sugar cookie recipe from my previous cookie post ..




While painting them I imagined what Ronelle,Susan,Carol,Mary.. and Marie.. Monica..etc..would paint on them~
All would be exquisite.

I am not a painter.I wish I was:)



Trop "le fun" !!

Enjoy..Just bake sugar cookies that hold their form well.. once cooled put a bit of corn syrup on your cookie and place the thinly rolled fondant you have cut with the same cookie cutter.
Chose your designs..and paint.I find it easier to look at a picture or photo and paint.I can't paint from my head~
Thank you Mary..

My wording ..is a take on one of my favorite poems..one part of it..Paul Verlaine~1844~1896

Voici des fruits, des fleurs, des feuilles et des branches
Et puis voici mon coeur qui ne bat que pour vous.

Here are some fruits,some flowers,some leaves and some branches..and here is my heart that beats only for you~

You can see some previous cookies I painted here

Here
and here~

Probably a few more..But these are to give you an idea of how versatile and how much fun they can be~

    Just use food coloring and paint away? I think that a bit of talent is required. Your cookies are beautiful. I think I'll have to stick to colored sugars!

    Best,

    There is nothing you can't do it seems! That little cottage is adorable!
    I don't know where to get fondant around here...probably in Nashville. This would be a fun thing to do with a group of friends.

    You could find fondant on amazon I am certain..making the marshmallow one is fun too..but now i like to keep some on hand for projects..
    have fun..
    I am still so grateful to Mary..hers knocked my socks off years ago.
    Little projects..can sometimes..as I have said..make a day so much more pleasurable.
    When I learn something new..a small part of me can still hobble for joy:)

    I tried painting cookies once and failed miserably! I did it on frosted cookies though so many fondant would be easier. They are so pretty it would be shame to eat them.

    I love that saying - so romantic.

    Now what shall I sa7y...Je ne trouve pas des mots...que c'est beau! You have that soft gently touch to paint these delicate cookies. Not everyone has that touch. If I were closer, I wouldv'e asked you for lessons to do these beautiful work you do...your cookies, lovely ideas like the bird seed hearts, you sachets, your tags(a la coque..hehe!). You are talented..no two ways about that.

    You make it all look so effortless. I thought I'd give it a try a few days ago after reading your post. Didn't get far and thought I'd just come back and feast my eyes upon your cookies...fewer calories, too!

    These are just amazing! I am afraid mine wouldn't be too great, but I think I am going to have to give them a try. We were out of town this last week or I would have tried them already! Just love them.
