Fondant for cutout cookies

By barbsjustagirl

Use this recipe for fondant covered cookies - it's easier to work with and tastes good! Do not cover a cake with it as it doesn't have much elasticity.

I found this recipe online and always thought that it would not work, but I tried it and it came out great, so I wanted to share. This fondant taste and smells like butter cream. This fondant is shiner than MMF and whiter!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of shortening or butter- (if you want it white use shortening)
• 1 cup of clear corn syrup
• 1/2 tsp fine salt
• 1 tsp clear vanilla extract
• 2 lbs of powdered sugar
• optional- 1/2 tsp of any flavoring

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the corn syrup, shortening (or butter), salt, vanilla extract and flavoring together in a bowl. Then add a little sugar at a time, about one cup. Mix sugar well before adding more sugar. Dump out of bowl and kneed. Wrap and put it in the refrigerator. Let set for a day for better results.
