Ingredients for Edible Fondant Love Letter Cookies:
- 10 graham cracker squares
- Wilton white fondant
- Wilton red edible food marker
- pink or white frosting
- small square cookie cutter
- rolling pin
- powdered sugar
- small candy hearts
- toothpicks
What does fondant taste like?
Every person seems to feel differently about the taste of it, so it’s up to them and their personal taste buds. It’s typically less sweet than frosting, but it is used in a lot of desserts, cakes, and cookies because it’s moldable and holds its shape really nicely.
The good thing about fondant is that is can be taken off if the receiver or maker doesn’t care for the way it tastes! But one thing is for certain…in this recipe, the fondant is the star of the show!
If you want to replace the fondant with icing, you could. Just know that it will be a bit messier, and the “pen” won’t write on it as well. But still, options are good!
Are your taste buds craving these delicious Love Letter Valentine’s Day treats? Your wait is over, friends! Have fun creating and eating these delicious Valentine Envelope Treats!
Love Letter Cookies
Ingredients
- 10 graham cracker squares
- Wilton white fondant
- Wilton red edible food marker
- pink or white frosting
- small square cookie cutter
- rolling pin
- powdered sugar
- small candy hearts
- toothpicks
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Gently knead the white fondant until pliable. Take a small handful at a time and gently roll out to 1/4" thick using the rolling pin. If the fondant gets sticky, use the powdered sugar on your rolling pin and surface to prevent sticking.
- Once the fondant is rolled to about 1/4" use the square cookie cutter to cut the fondant into small squares.
- Set the fondant squares on the baking sheet for 30-60 minutes to set.
- After the fondant hardens a bit spread a small amount of frosting on the back of the square and place on top of the graham cracker.
- Use the edible food marker to make 4-5 dashes on all sides of the square and then a small triangle in the middle.
- Use the toothpick to place a small amount of frosting on the back of the candy heart and then affix onto the 'envelope flap'.
- Repeat with all 10 graham crackers.
