Butterfly Wafer Paper Cookies How-To

You Will Need:

• All Hues Butterfly Wafer Paper Set
• No Fail Sugar Cookie Recipe
• 1 bag royal icing
• Butterflies Cookie Cutter Set
• Light Karo Corn Syrup
• Disco Dust
• White Vanilla Extract or other clear extract or alcohol
• Wax or parchment paper
• Small craft scissors
• Small craft paintbrush

Instructions:

1. Use the No Fail Sugar Cookie recipe and cut out several butterfly cookie shapes. Bake and cool as directed.
2. Ice each cookie with 1 layer of royal icing. Let them completely dry.
3. Mix a small amount of Disco dust with white vanilla extract in a small bowl to create a paint-like texture. Use a small craft paintbrush to paint onto the cookies. Varying colors will look best. Let them dry.
4. Cut each butterfly in half so that the wings are separate pieces. Be careful, wafer paper is fragile!
5. Adhere the wings to the cookies with a small amount of light Karo corn syrup on the inside of the wing. Hold them in place for a minute so that they will stay standing.
6. Let all the cookies dry completely and store them in an airtight container.
