Cookies and stamping, what more could a girl want?

I had some cookie dough left over from the Haunted House, 

and thought I would have a play with it today. :-)

So, I rummaged through my craft room to see what I could use - and here are the results.

I had so much fun making these that I got carried away with the photos,

so good luck on making it to the end! lol**

I cut out and baked various shaped cookies, then used warm apricot jam to stick the fondant on to them.

NB: Putting jam in the microwave for 3 minutes,  not only fills your kitchen with smoke, but also coats your glass dish in burnt jam that will take a jackhammer to remove. 30 seconds is plenty!!

I just LOVE the way these turned out. They would be so pretty for Christmas presents, in a cellophane bag tied up with ribbon.

I left some icing white and coloured some pale lilac. The white cookies are really gorgeous, they just don't photograph as well.

Once the icing was rolled out, I dipped my stamp in some icing sugar, shook off the excess and then pressed it into the fondant. I added a few white balls to decorate.

Below, the lilac cookie uses another tree stamp from my set.

For the white cookie I rolled out the fondant, and pressed a swirly embossing folder into it.

I think the swirls embossing folder works the best. You can 'stamp' your icing and the  cut it to the shape you want.

I used my embossing folders on the trees - the dots one doesn't really work very well.

The snowflake is a Marianne Snowflake die and the flowers are a Stampin Up wooden satmp.

I found that cling stamps worked better than those on wood, because you can easily 'peel' them off the icing and they are easy to clean in a little warm water.

I am adding this to the
