Fondant is a beautiful way to dress up cookies and make them really special. A lot of people don’t like the way fondant tastes, however. This is an easy recipe that tastes great! You can flavor it any way you choose.
Marshmallow Fondant – makes 2 lbs.
2 Tablespoons of water (in this liquid you can use flavorings like vanilla, almond or a mixture of the two)
1 lb. marshmallows (big or small)
4 cups powered sugar
Grease a glass mixing bowl very well. Place marshmallow and liquid in the bowl. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir the mixture. Microwave one more minute on high. Stir again. Using a mixer (you can use dough hooks if you have them) mix in the sugar one cup at a time. You will have to knead in the last cup of sugar. At this time knead in color if you want to. Knead the fondant until it is no longer sticky. Wrap very tightly in plastic until you are ready to work with it. Do not refrigerate.
