Taylor Swift Paper Doll Cookie Collection | Decorating Tutorial

My niece and her mom are huge Swifties, so I decided to create a special interactive Taylor Swift cookie gift box for them, featuring a Taylor “paper doll” and five interchangeable fashion cookies inspired by looks from her Eras tour. Below, you'll find the recipes I used, as well as free downloads and supply lists if you'd like to try making these cookies yourself.

WHITE CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW FONDANT

Ingredients

2-4 tbs
shortening for
coating bowl and
spoon
16 oz mini
marshmallows
1/4 cup water
100 g white
chocolate
2 tsp vanilla bean
paste
1/2 tsp butter
emulsion (or
coordinating
flavor of your
choice)
6 -7 cups
powdered sugar

Directions

1. Place the white chocolate in
a small, microwave-safe cup
or bowl. Microwave for
15 seconds, then stir well.
Repeat until the chocolate is
smooth (do not overheat).
Set aside.
2. Coat a large, microwave-safe
bowl and spatula or wooden
spoon with shortening.
3. Empty a 16oz bag of
mini marshmallows into
the shortening-coated bowl,
and drizzle the water over
marshmallows.
4. Microwave for 30 seconds,
then stir with the shortening-coated
spatula or spoon
. Microwave marshmallows
for another 30 seconds
and stir again. Repeat until
marshmallows are melted
and look soupy.
5. Fold 3 cups powdered sugar
into the melted marshmallows.
6. Add the melted white chocolate,
vanilla bean paste and
butter emulsion.
7. Mix in the remaining 3 cups of
powdered sugar. When
the mixture gets too thick to stir,
begin kneading it like bread
dough until powdered sugar is incorporated and fondant
is smooth.
8. The fondant may be slightly
tacky on the surface, but
shouldn’t be super sticky. If
it’s too sticky, add additional
powdered sugar.
9. For best results, wrap the fondant in several layers of plastic
wrap, place it in a gallon zip-lock
bag or airtight container, and
allow it to rest overnight.

STRAWBERRY GANACHE FILLING

Ingredients:

100g Valrhona Strawberry Inspiration chocolate, chopped
50g heavy whipping cream

Directions:

1. Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. The smaller the chocolate pieces, the easier it will melt evenly.
2. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Avoid boiling the cream.
3. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit for about 1-2 minutes to allow the heat to melt the chocolate.
4. Gently stir the chocolate and cream together until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. If needed, you can place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) to help melt the chocolate fully.
5. Stir until fully combined and the ganache becomes glossy.
6. Cover with plastic wrap and allow it to cool at room temperature until it thickens to a pipeable consistency.
