Quilted Wedding Cake Cookies
- 8 tbsp (1 stick) butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 None eggs, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1 lb ready-to-roll white fondant
- None None Cornstarch, for dusting
- 1 None egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp silver dragees
- Beat butter, vanilla and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until just combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in sifted flours, in 2 batches; mix to a soft dough. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for 30 mins.
- Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Grease and line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
- Roll dough, in batches, between sheets of parchment paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut 18 wedding cake shapes from dough, re-rolling dough as necessary. Place shapes, about 2 inches apart, on prepared pans.
- Bake for 10 mins, or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool in pans 5 mins. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire rack.
- Knead icing on surface dusted with a little cornstarch until icing loses its stickiness. Roll to a 1/8-inch thickness. Cut 18 wedding cake shapes from icing, the same size as cookies. Re-roll icing as necessary. Cover icing shapes with plastic wrap.
- Brush the top of a cookie with egg white. Place an icing shape on top. Press patchwork cutter onto icing to make a quilted pattern, or score in a crisscross pattern with a knife.
- Dip small paint brush into water; wipe brush until almost dry. Dab paint brush at corners of quilted squares. Using tweezers, position silver dragees at the corners. Let stand until set.
