Directions:
- Roll our cookie dough and cut out dreidels.
- Using a sharp knife, cut out 1″ x 1.5″ rectangles for the seating card stands.
- Bake dreidels and rectangles on separate trays because the rectangles will bake faster. Allow to cool.
- Roll out the fondant, approximately quarter of an inch.
- Cut dreidel from the fondant.
- Attach the fondant to the cookie with karo syrup or a bit of water.
- Decorate cookies with royal icing and sugar crystals. Allow to dry.
- Use a toothpick to chisel a groove on the back of the dreidel in a 1” horizontal line in the center of the cookie and then lean the dreidel cookie on the short side of the rectangle cookie as a stand. We found that with this method the cookies stood beautifully and did not require chocolate to stick them together.
