Instructions
For the Cookies
In an electric or stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream until well combined. Slowly add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined.
In 2 batches, place in plastic wrap in a disc shape and chill for at least 2 hours for best results.
Once chilled, roll and cut into desired shapes. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes, depending on how thick you cut your cookies. Remove and let cool. Frost and decorate as desired.
For the Fondant Frosting
Roll the fondant out into an even thinness. (I used one of those disposable cutting boards to roll the fondant, so it didn't stick)
Use the same cookie cutter you cut the cookie into to cut out your shape.
Brush a light layer of corn syrup on top of the cookie.
Press the cut fondant over your cookie. Press around the edges to seal. It's as easy as that!
