I love Christmas cookies and I think July is the perfect time to start thinking about Christmas baking. Maybe there is an old recipe you haven't prepared in a while or maybe there is something you would like to learn to bake.
Time goes by so quickly that, and before you know it Christmas time will be here soon!
For this Christmas in July, I made several cookies inspired in the Elf on the Shelf. Although that is a tradition that we don't have in our house, I love the Elf and I think it is very retro and reminds me about the toys that were in-style when I was a little girl. I remember that some of my friends had this Elf, but I don't think that they ever followed the tradition of leaving them hidden around the house.
I have this cute home-made cookie cutter and I have made some cookies with it several years ago.
Yet, this time I want it to give it a twist and decided to used fondant and royal icing to decorate it.
Fondant is so easy to use and if you like to play with play-dough you will love to decorate cookies with it.
The important part here is that the fondant you use tastes good. I used a buttercream fondant and it is delicious!
Happy Christmas in July 2021!
