Flying Butterfly Cookies How-To

You Will Need:

• Butterflies Blue & Lavender Hues Wafer Paper Set
• Butterflies Green Hues Wafer Paper Set
• No Fail Sugar Cookie Recipe
• Royal icing
• Crinkle Square Cookie Cutter Set or any cutter shape of your choice
• Edible Clear Writing Gel
• Super Gold Luster Dust
• Wax or parchment paper
• Small craft scissors
• Empty Egg Carton

Instructions:

1. Use the No Fail Sugar Cookie recipe and cut out several varying circle and square cookie shapes. Bake and cool as directed.
2. Ice each cookie with 1 layer of royal icing or buttercream, if you prefer. Let it completely dry.
3. Spread a thin layer of edible clear gel onto the wafer paper butterfly and slightly fold it in the center, so the wings are bent up. Place each butterfly in a section of the egg carton so that the wings will dry standing up.
4. Add shimmer to the butterflies by dusting them with a small amount of Gold Luster Dust. Let the butterflies completely dry in the egg carton.
5. Adhere the butterflies to the cookies by using a dab of edible clear gel on the underside of the body of the butterfly and attaching it to the cookie. Hold it in place for a minute before letting it dry on its own. Let it dry completely.
6. Let everything completely dry and store the cookies in an airtight container.
