Learn how to make camera-shaped cookies and decorate them with fondant to create realistic camera-themed treats. These cookies are perfect for photography enthusiasts and themed parties, and they taste as good as they look!
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 teaspoon salt. Fondant icing in various colors black, white, and colors of your choice. Edible food coloring gel for tinting fondant. Royal icing store-bought or homemade. Piping bags with small round tips. Small paintbrushes. Edible food markers black.
Instructions: Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy. Mix the egg and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar until everything is well mixed together. Slowly add the salt and flour to the wet ingredients and mix them together until a dough forms. Make two equal pieces of dough, flatten them into discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and put them in the fridge for at least an hour. Warm your oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Use a little flour to cover a surface and roll out one of the chilled dough discs until it is about 1/4-inch thick. Cut out cookies in the shape of cameras with a cookie cutter, then move them to the baking sheet that has been prepared. After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Take them out of the oven and set them on a wire rack to cool. While the cookies cool, roll out your fondant icing until it's about the same thickness as the cookies. To make fondant shapes that go with your cookies, use the same cookie cutter. Use a thin layer of royal icing to stick the fondant shapes to the cookies after they have cooled. You can start decorating the camera cookies once the fondant is set. To make the fondant look like a camera, use edible food markers to draw on buttons, lenses, and dials. Come up with some creative designs! To add more complicated details, like straps or logos, you can use colored fondant and shape it in the right way. Use a small amount of royal icing to attach these details to the cookies. Let your decorated camera cookies dry all the way through before you serve them or package them. This will make sure the royal icing and fondant set right. Now your camera cookies are ready to eat or give to other people. They're great treats for people who like photography and for parties with a theme.
