If you want to start with your favorite sugar cookie recipe than prepare your cookie dough according to directions.

How to Decorate Mermaid Cookies
This recipe only calls for a few ingredients and if you use store bought sugar cookies all you’l have to do is decorate these beauties.
- Your favorite recipe for sugar cookies (enough to make one dozen cookies, about 2 inches in diameter)
- ¼ cup softened butter
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- Blue gel food coloring
- 2 oz. pink fondant
- 2-3 oz. purple fondant
- 2-3 oz. green fondant
- Seashell fondant mold
Prepare the buttercream frosting by mixing together the butter, icing sugar and milk.
Once the ingredients are well-combined, smooth, and form semi-stiff peaks, add blue gel food coloring. Mix it well until it’s completely tinted.
Frost each cookie with an offset spatula.
On a clean surface, roll out purple fondant and green fondant (separately).
Using the bottom of a standard frosting tip, cut out 40 to 48 circles from each colored rolled out fondant.
Create two rows, overlapping each other, on the bottom of each cookie. Your first row should have 4 circles and the bottom row, 3 circles.
Using your fondant mold, create seashells with your pink fondant. To achieve a perfect seashell, take a small portion of fondant and press it evenly into your desired shape. Pop out and place 1 on each cookie.
Serve your under the sea cookies for an ocean themed party and enjoy!
