Oh my gosh just gorgeous never knew you could put fondant on cookies they absolutely gorgeous thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@zoesfancycakes]

Thank you 🌸

[@DeniseCakeMethod]

Love both of these! 🖤 The "naked" ones have a cool vintage-y look to them. Whenever I'm decorating a cookie with fondant I always use either modeling chocolate or marshmallow fondant since it tastes a bit better ☺️ I've also added in different flavorings that pair with the cookie flavor.

[@normamarshall3349]

Amazing as always 🥰

[@zoesfancycakes]

Thank you so much 🌸

[@naturally78]

[@tiannastevens297]

Do you just use makeup brushes for this or are they actually cake decorating brushes? These cookies are amazing!

[@tashawilcox5794]

Tried the cookie recipe and it didn't come into a dough. Too dry. Was I supposed to melt the butter?

[@hell594]

I seriously thought they were a bunch of drawings or printout when looking at the thumbnail

[@zoesfancycakes]

Thank you 🌸

[@elissajmartinez7826]

They were VERY pretty but I kinda felt like you cheated using fondant and not Royal Icing. My own opinion.

[@zoesfancycakes]
