SUGAR COOKIES/ using edible wafer paper

Oh I love these cookies

Pinned on my cookies board

This weekend I'm making some cookies..

I have a birthday party for my husband next weekend. 

The following weekend my friend is having a open house at her quilting store

I am bringing goodies and I thought the thread cookies would be amazing

We'll see how they look when I am finished with them.

This is my go-to recipe for sugar cookies

I just made the dough and stuck it in the fridge

Tomorrow I will be rolling, baking and decorating

AMERICAN SUGAR COOKIES

2 Sticks softened margarine

1 cup sugar

Cream together and add

2 eggs

Beat well

Add 

3 cups flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Refrigerate overnight

Roll to about 1/3" cut out and bake at

350 10-12

Yeah this is how my cookies turned out

                                               minutes or less depending on thickness

For cookies I sell or when I am trying to impress:

I get Wilton Meringue Powder and follow the Icing recipe included

This is the recipe my Mom and I have always used and even though it

has a raw egg white- no one has ever gotten sick I swear 

             MY    ICING                

3 Cups Powdered Sugar

1 Egg white

Beat well and add milk a small amount at a time until it's a consistency that you want

                                                                             
                                                                OK didja see my cookies??
        OMG thought they would look more amazing but at least I know they will taste good.
        I used meringue powder and made royal icing.. The really amazing ones right on top of this paragraph           that didn't come out to well with my camera are wafer paper from Fancy Flours-I love that site.
     
        It is an easy and amazing way to make very memorable cookies that will astound your friends.  
        Cut your wafer paper as close to the design as possible, make your sugar cookies in the shape of your
        paper, make and let cool. Make your frosting and place your paper-be sure to get it where you want
        it the first time because honey there are no do=overs..

        Smooth it out gently and for the edges that show dip in colored sugar, jimmies, wherever your                       imagination takes you.  One of the pictures above is a vintage wafer paper about buttons.
        So I made buttons in a button mold from Wilton using edible modeling clay-or gum paste.
        Let the buttons dry and then adhere to the cookie with some frosting-people will freak-honest.

         
                                                             No Chunky, keep your paws off
