New Year Fondant Cookies Recipe

Beat egg and powdered sugar until creamy. Add softened margarine, cinnamon, and vanilla; mix well. Gradually stir in flour until smooth. Cover and chill for 1 hour.

Lightly knead the chilled dough and roll it out. Don’t roll too thin so shapes hold. Cut with cookie cutters and place on a parchment-lined tray. Place in a cold oven set to 165°C; bake until edges turn lightly golden, then remove and cool.

Take small pieces of fondant, dust the surface with cornstarch, and roll thin. Cut shapes using the same cookie cutters.

Use water or a little honey to stick fondant shapes onto cookies. Press gently and let dry overnight before packaging.

Before baking, poke a small hole at the top of each cookie with a piping tip. After drying, thread a ribbon for festive hanging and gifting.
