All cookies are made from the Fancy Flours, “No Fail Sugar Cookie” recipe found in the recipe section of the blog. They are decorated with royal icing.

Here is another great wafer paper technique…you just need plain sheets of wafer paper, a stamp, food coloring, and royal icing. Start out by making sugar cookies as usual. Bake & Cool as directed. Outline and flood cookies with white (or any other preferred color) royal icing. Let completely dry uncovered (approximately 24 hours). In the meantime, pick out your favorite stamp (we chose a bird theme), and a gel food coloring. In a small flat bowl mix food color with water, to create a water color-like consistency. Dip stamp in water color, blot on paper towel and then stamp onto wafer paper. Stamp as many different shapes and styles that will fit on your wafer paper sheet. Let dry. Carefully cut out wafer paper designs. Apply a thin layer of corn syrup to the back of the wafer paper cut-outs. Apply to the top of your iced and dried cookies. Flip cookies over onto a sheet of parchment paper for about 20-30 minutes. This will ensure that the wafer paper will stay smooth. Flip cookies over and add additional decorations such as edible glitter, dragees, sanding sugar, and royal icing details.
