Rebecca, I decorate all of my cookies in fondant. I make all my fondant using the marshmallow fondant recipe and everyone loves them. Once you learn to get the consistency of the fondant correct the possiblities are endless. I can reproduce just about any design that is in royal icing in fondant. I love using impression mats and small fondant cutters. I do use royal icing for accents. I also use corn syrup in a small squeeze bottle to attach my fondant to my cookies. Fondant is very forgiving and easy to peel off of the cookie if you make a mistake. I think it is easier to work with than royal icing.
