Cookies as Wedding Favors


Our niece got married over Memorial Day weekend.  Since she lives in NC, there was no way it would be possible for me to do her cake for her.  Instead, I made her wedding favors - sugar cookie wedding cakes. 

I used my sugar cookie recipe and flavored it with lemon extract, instead of vanilla.  Again, I pre-cut the fondant to use as an icing layer.  Once the cookies were baked and cooled, I started the process of piping the cookies with royal icing and adding silver dragees. 

The finished product was put into a cookie bag and topped with cutout cardstock that I made beforehand.  Overall, I really like the look and feel of this method of bagging the cookies.  More work than the way I usually do it, but I think I will take the time to do this on my Christmas cookies this year.
