You will start by measuring all the ingredients and setting them aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and castor sugar until light and fluffy with a pale-like appearance.
Add the egg and beat until fully incorporated into the mixture. Mix the flour and salt and sift into the creamed mixture.
Use a rubber spatula to mix the wet and dry ingredients and finally your hand to make dough.
Wrap the dough with a cling film and chill the dough for 30 minutes. Roll out the cookie dough clean and well-floured kitchen counter.
Roll to 1-inch thickness, and use various cookie cutters (7mm) to cut out your desired shapes.
Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray 2 inches apart.
Preheat the oven to 150C or 350F. Bake the cookies on the middle rack of the oven for 12 to 15 minutes till light golden brown in color.
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the tray then carefully transfer them on the wire cooling rack. Let cookies cool completely as you work on the fondant icing
Roll out the fondant to about half-inch thickness. Cut out shapes matching the cookie shapes you’ve already baked and set them aside.
Apply some edible glue or water on each cookie and stick the cut-out fondant.
