Wilton fondant tastes awful and is hard to work with.  The white likes to pick up clothing fibers.  You buy satin ice.  I know it’s on amazon, but I’ve seen it at Michaels.  I color fondant (Satin Ice) with Roxy and rich fondust. There are recipes for fondant, but I’ve never had success making it.  I’m not sure how much meringue powder to add to make it stiffer.  You will have to experiment.  My friend who is a teacher loves it.  Are you using wilton meringue powder?  I prefer Genies dream meringue powder.  I use the recipe on the container and I really like it.  

I am not yet experienced enough to make fondant on my own for sure, so currently if I want to experiment it on cookies, it has to be store bought fondant.

Yes, I use Wilton meringue powder. Will try out Genies meringue powder too.

Thanks again @Econlady
