- Place the cookies onto 2 large baking trays, lined with greaseproof baking paper, leaving some space between them.
- Bake in a preheated oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 for about 10 mins.
- Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool down completely.
- Add the food colouring of your choice to the ready to roll royal icing and roll it out to 0.3-0.4 mm thick. Cut out triangles 6.5 cm tall and 3 cm wide. Brush the cookies with some water then place the fondant onto them.
- Mix together the icing sugar and water. Add some more water if too thick or some more icing sugar if too thin. Transfer to a piping bag. Cut off the very end of the icing bag tip then pipe some stripes over the cookies.
- Let dry completely before serving.
