A kitschy addition to the holiday cookie display
Type of cookie: Rolled cutout
8 snow globes
Fondant-covered snow globe cookies are a kitschy addition to the holiday cookie display. I love working with cutout shapes and fondant because they don’t require the drawing skills you need for piping royal icing. Here I made a host of holiday classics: a snowman, a fifties-style Rudolph, a pine forest, a snowflake, and gingerbread people. This is the recipe I use for homemade fondant; it is very pliable. Premade fondant is available at cake-decorating supply stores.

You Will Need
-
Step 1
Make the fondant: Put the confectioners’ sugar in a large bowl and make a well in the center; set aside.
-
Step 2
Put the water and gelatin in a small saucepan and let sit for 5 minutes to dissolve. Place over low heat and stir in the corn syrup and glycerin. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
-
Step 3
Pour the liquid mixture into the well in the confectioners’ sugar and stir until just blended. Knead until the mixture becomes stiff. If it is too sticky, add more sugar a little at a time. Form into a ball and let rest in an airtight container overnight at room temperature.
-
Step 4
Make the sugar cookies: Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
-
Step 5
Cream the butter and confectioners’ sugar until light. Beat in the vanilla.
-
Step 6
Gradually stir in the flour mixture. Form the dough into 2 flat disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
-
Step 7
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step 8
Roll out one disk of dough (for the snow globe bases) on a floured work surface to 1⁄2 inch thick. Roll the other disk of dough (for the snow globes) out to 3⁄16 inch thick. Using a utility knife and the templates on page 279, cut out the shapes for the snow globes and the bases. In the center of each base, cut a 1⁄4-inch groove partway through the cookie. This will hold the snow globe.
-
Step 9
Place the shapes on the cookie sheets 2 inches apart and bake for 13 to 16 minutes, until the edges are golden. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
-
Step 10
The cookies may have risen in baking. Check all of the pieces to see whether they fit together properly. If not, cut and clean up the grooves with a utility knife, and test to make sure the globes fit onto the bases.
-
Step 11
Knead small amounts of food coloring into the fondant, a little at a time.
-
Step 12
Roll the fondant out on a work surface dusted with confectioners’ sugar to 1⁄16 inch thick. Cut into shaped pieces with cookie cutters and a utility knife. Attach the fondant to the cookies with royal icing. Pipe icing around the edges of the globes and sprinkle with colored sugar and nonpareils.
