I’ll just call them Cookie Hats since Easter is now over. I made these this weekend but you can certainly do them for other occasions like Mothers Day. Showers, too. You can change the colors for different themes. Any Red Hat Society peeps out there? These would be fun. I can also see these for a Kentucky Derby party – you could get really creative with them. Or forget the flowers, paint them with silver luster dust and turn them into flying saucers.
I found the instructions for these cuties in a book called Cookie Swap.
Here’s what they are supposed to look like. Gorgeous, huh! These are made using royal icing to coat the hat and pipe the perfect little dots. Fondant is used for the flowers and the bands.
Now, I didn’t have extra hours to wait for royal icing to dry when I made these, so I improvised. But, if time weren’t an issue, I’d go royal.
Instead, I covered the sugar cookie hats in tinted and rolled fondant…
And used sugar pearls to add detail. To help them stay in place, I used the pearls to press indentations around the hat. Then, I put a tiny amount of water on the sugar pearl and placed it in position.
Here they are with and without the pearls.
The base of the sugar cookie hats should be rolled thin before baking and the top part of the hat should be thicker to accommodate the fondant band. I used the shortbread sugar cookie recipe in the book, but feel free to use your own recipe and decorate.
Note: To get the fondant and cookie shapes to match in size, I re-cut the cookies with the cutter when I took them out of the oven and while they were still warm because they had spread a little.
You can attach the fondant to the cookies with a little bit of icing and you can attach the fondant flowers with a little dab of water.
Fondant Flowers.
All I can say is I heart my flower blossom plunger cutter. Say that fast three times.
I bought it a while ago and this is the first time I’ve used it.
You can cut shapes out of fondant and by pressing down on the plunger, you can make center indentations… or not.
You can also press the plunger into the fondant and remove the flower shape to then press and release onto a sponge.
This will give the flowers a curved shape.
But, without a sponge handy I had to improvise again.
So I grabbed the paper towel roll nearby and laid it on its side.
See how they curve when you press them into a soft surface and release? If you wanted, you could also add sugar pearls to the centers or pipe with icing.
These were fun to use. Now I need to get my hands on a little leaf plunger cutter to round out the look.
Cookie Swap is full of recipes, decorating and displaying ideas.
Like these….
Yes, this is a cookie. A ridiculously beautiful cookie. Seriously, who does that? Amazing!
And these are in the book, too. Love them! Looooooove them. But, I’d have to find someone to pipe those dots on for me. Mine would never look that perfect.
In addition to really pretty sweets, the book also has cute cookies to make you swoon.
Like these hamburger and hotdog shaped macarons. Dying.
And these watermelon cookies. Oh and umm, the lemons? Those are cookies, too. I know. Craziness.
Want to try your hand at some spectacular cookies?
Or just want to look at pretty pictures?

Alright, let’s see who won.
YAY for Sarah the Adventurer! This book has plenty of projects to keep you busy. Have fun.
I love a challenge! Just still a little green but catching up. Too painful to eat beautiful cookies like these, but I am up for taste testing.
I am a total wannabbee cookie maker. I try and try…but nothing great yet! Maybe this book would help!!??!!
The cookies are absolutely awesome! I’m definitely of the adventurous baker type. Just got a set of cookie printing letters, so I’ll have to come up with a way to use them. Can’t wait to get creative.
…Both! I’m not a serious cookie maker like yourself Bakerella but I do love to make a good cookie and eat ’em too! :o)
…Thanks for the giveaway!
…Blessings… :o)
Probably taste tester lol, always steal cookies when my sister bakes for her daughter’s class :D so yummy… wanna make does watermelon cookies for my niece tho, she loves watermelons :D
I try to be an adventurous cookie maker!
I’m definitely adventurous, but still very much an amateur cookie maker! Looks like some great ideas in that book…Love your site, btw
I haven’t quite plunged in to cookies yet, but I do cakes and cake pops, so cookies are next! Thanks for the ideas!
I think I need to make some fancy cookies for an upcoming knitting brunch!
I’m an adventurous cookie maker :) I live on the edge! ;)
Adventurous cookie maker when I have the time & energy :)
I LOVE baking! No doubt about that! Cookies are on the list but I am a content taste tester.
I want to be an adventurous cookie maker. I have been able to experiment alot, but hope to very soon.
Oh, sweet! I love your bonnet cookies. I am planning a baby shower for my daughter in August. I think I need this book for inspiration! I don’t think, I know I need it. :)
I am more of a taste tester. I don’t have the kitchen space or time right now to be more adventurous.
Hmmm…Adventurous, I think! I love finding new ideas and your blog is a wonderful source for fun cuteness! I made the little chick cake pops for my sons preschool Easter party and they were a HUGE hit! Thanks!!!
Adventurous!
I would love to be able to make beautiful cookies like that…but with my lack of coordination I think I’d better stick to cookie tasting ;-)
Wow love these cookies! Thinking the hot dogs and burgers maybe calling for me to try! Then let the cookie monsters in my house enjoy!!!
Oh, I am definately an adventurous cookie creator and I sure don’t mind eating them either! This book looks like so much fun.
That book would be great in my library!
I am definitely an adventurous cookie maker! But, also a perfectionist! If they aren’t perfect, I don’t give them away…I let my boyfriend eat them up instead. ;o)
Just beautiful. So inspiring!! HAT POPS anyone??? I hope I get the book!! It would be put to vERY good use! Hope you are feeling better Bakerella. Strength to you! xx
hmmmm…I’m BOTH!!! Cookie maker and EATER!!! =), but im still a beginner! I hope this book helps!
Love these cookies! We love to bake and cook around here, but we especially get into the cute stuff at Christmas and Mother’s Day when our church puts on a tea for the ladies. Always looking for new ideas and recipes.
i’m an adventurous cookie maker — but i lose steam at about the 3.5 hr mark!
Not adventurous but inspire to be.
I’m in! I’m getting married next summer and want so many beautiful cookies at our backyard reception!!!
I would say I’ve always been a taste tester, but more recently adventuring into baking them!
I am a taste tester that wishes I was a little more adventurous.
I am all about adventure, but the hooligans and I are probably more of the taste tester type. What a cute book!
I love experimenting with cookies. I love experimenting with baking in general. Definitely adventurous baker.
I try to be an adventurous cookie baker, but the huuby likes his choc-chip cookies. I say: “mmm lemon cookies.” He says: “did you say your making chocolate chip cookies?” I say: “oooh, brown sugar snaps.” He says: “What, another batch of chocolate chip cookies? Yum!” *sigh* :)
I am some where in between! Wish I had more time to fiddle with pretty cookies… would love this book..for my someday cookie making!
I am an ABSOLUTE adventurous cookie maker :) Love love love creating stuff like this!!!!
What an awesome book!!! If i don’t win :) I’m going to have to look for this one soon!
I love looking at and eating cute cookies, but I could never be patient or skilled enough to make such lovely ones!
When the kids let me have a little time…I’m an adventerous cookie maker! They are adorable!!
I would love to make more fun cookies! My daughter loves making cookies with me so this would give us some fun new things to try :)
It’s an added plus if they taste good but I go for the looks! I love pretty cookies! I hope you are feeling better….I missed you!
Fabulous. I just made my way through Cookie Craft, finishing up the read with piped and flooded cookies for my son’s birthday. That book looks like a great next step. I especially adore the lemons. What a fabulous way to decorate a lemon cookie!
I’m not much of a cookie maker, but a gal I work with would probably love this book.
or you could decorate like cat in the hat and make them really tall for a kids party!
love them.
If I were a book, I’d be a Choose Your Own (Cookie) Adventure.
I’m all about the cookie mixes and leave the adventurous stuff to my neighbor. LOL!
I’m a bit of both. I love being adventurous and trying new things.. but now and again I want to take the back seat and just want to taste test them all
The hotdog macaroons would look so cute next to the hamburger cookies and sugar cookie fries you made last year for fathers day. Cute!!
Definitely an “Adventure” Baker. I will try anything. And I love to share it with everyone and I will send in Trays of Cookies to my Husbands work for Board Meetings. I would love that Book for new stuff. I am buying the Printer so I can make the cookies with Printed Logos for my Husband’s work….working on that right now! Your the best….you simply amaze me with everything you do!
I love making fun cookies, and I enjoy eating them as well :)
I’m an adventurous baker! I do it for a living and for fun outside of work, always making something. This would definitely be a great addition to my cookbook collection! Thanks for the constant inspiration Bakerella! Love your site!
After all the Easter candy I ate, I don’t NEED this book, I WANT it!
I love making cookies so I would say adventurous .. and I would love to make cookies that look that beautiful! Mine taste good.. have had no complaints so far, I would just love to get that beautiful look to it! A book like this could take me far :)
I would love to try to make such beautiful works of art like you do :) youre so talented!! HAPPY EASTER :)
oh i am definatly an adventurous cookie maker and eater LOL especially now that my kids have started school, it’s the only thing to keep me from going crazy missing them! Hope you had a great Easter! :D
I definitely go for the taste of cookies!
I’m an adventurous cookie maker! Since my husband can’t have eggs I have been baking with vegan recipes. The request I constantly get from friends is the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillows. They are incredible!
I love creating new kinds of cookies, whether it is reinventing a plain old recipe, or decorating my favorite stand by. I love making them beautiful!!
Definitely a tester here. I’m ordering one of those flower blossom plunger cutters though..it looks like so much fun!
I love baking cookies even though I desperately need a new oven and have to play “adventures is baking temperatures” every time I bake.
If I had lots of free time, I would definately be an adventurous cookie maker, but for now I’ll just have to be a content taste tester.
I hope you are feeling much better!
Definitely a content taste-tester. I’ve gotten ambitious once or twice, but in general I’m ok to bake cookie-shaped-cookies, or just eat what other people bake. :-p
I very much desire to be an adventurous cookie maker.
That book looks like a lot of fun!
i am definitely an adventurous cookie maker! but someone has to try them along the way, so i help myself with that as well!
I am an adventurous cookie maker!! I love to bake and mix things up!
I love the macarons! Even if I don’t win the book, I might need to buy it to try all the fun creations.
hi! i can’t imagine a day going by without baking, or surfing the net for new recipes and ideas. i love eating what i make, and finding ways to make it look and taste better.
i absolutely love your site! thanx for your dedication. :)
Definitely an adventurous cookie maker….Gotta try these…and MORE! Very cute!
Those cookies look like loads of fun to make. And once I am done school I will have all the time in the world to bake them!
I definitely am an adventurous cookie maker… love baking in general.
Cookie maker. Love the cookies you made.
What divine cookies! I’m definitely an adventurous cookie baker. always looking out for new inspiration!
those lemonade cookies are adorable! hope I get the book so I can bake them for my family!
I would have to say I am just a taster but still love to try to make beautiful cookies…
Glad to hear that you are feeling better!
I’m most adventurous with cookies, but they often turn out to be flops. These look fabulous.
I am definitely a content taster, although I have never thought about making such pretty cookies. I am adventurous when it comes to cakes, though, so hmmm…..
I’d love to say an adventurours baker but I am not as ambitious as you are! but I’m not the taste tester either. My housemates taste my adventures.
I LOVE to decorate elaborate sugar cookies. I havn’t played with fondant yet, though. It looks fun!
So very cute! :) And I have heard great things about the book.
WOW Beautiful cookies! I’m definitely going to try them this weekend!
I have not tackled anything quite so advanced as these, but it’s definitely on my list of things I want to do. Amazing stuff!
I am an adventerous cookie maker. I like to try new things but I do like to have the step by step instructions.
I like to think I’m adventurous. I would love to try some of these cookies – especially the wedding ones – I have a bridal shower this Spring that they would be perfect for.
I’m a taste tester! When I have more time I might try to make them on my own..
I not only want that book — I need it!
Love the flower hats — so so sweet and the cute flowers.
So creative.
I hope you are feeling better — I have been thinking of you.
I’m a content taste tester who would love to be an adventurous cookie maker some day :-).
Adventurous cookie taster! I’m more of a cupcake/cake baker, but this book is making me want to try my hand at cookie making.
I’m more of a regular cookie baker, and I love to taste. I would also love to win this book so I can be an adventerous cookie baker!
I love to bake and decorate cookies!!! Not really an adventurous cookie maker but I would like to be! :)
Oh, and I’m always up for the part of the loyal taste tester :)
I’ll throw my name into the hat! :)
I’m a cookie maker.. but not so adventurous though…
I’m a serious cookie taster but I also like to dabble in cooking making!
Making your cupcake bites has made me famous among my friends (don’t worry, I give you all the credit!) I’d love to expand my repertoire!
That looks like such a fun book! I personally have a few go-to cookie recipes, but I’m always game to try something new. And, I’m constantly on the lookout for the perfect cut-out sugar cookie recipe. Haven’t found it yet, but at least it’s a tasty search.
I love try new designs,and like to eat them too!!
I’ll throw my hat into the adventurous ring. I love trying new recipes. I love baking batches of cookies to take to meeting or drop off at the local firehouse or assisted living home. I’d love to try my hand at some of these cookies.
I love making the cookies! I actually don’t usually try my creations- my friends/family are my taste testers. =]
In the past, I’ve been more of a taste tester; however, as a newlywed, I’ve really got into baking and trying new things. So, I’m fast approaching Adventurous Baker! :-)
Right now I’m a taste tester, but I’d love to make some fancified ones!
Love the hamburger and hot dog cookies – so cute! I’m an “adventurous cookie maker” in search of a bigger kitchen to accommodate all the tools necessary!
I love, love , love baking cookies and am always looking for new ideas.
I hope you are feeling better and that the spring and warm weather brings good health and spirits to you!
Love those hats! My mom is in the Red Hat Society and would love to make those cookies for one of their outings. Such fun and different ideas!
Cookie maker For sure! So glad I have some new ideas to try out and would love the book for more!!!!
Wow! not sure I’d have the patience to make these adorable cookies, but I’d sure like the chance to try – would love that book!
I do both. Depending on my mood and audience. I love making cookies just for the dough. What does that make me?
Omg. I would buy the book just for the macaron instructions. What a great addition for a barbecue!
I’m always up for adventure in the kitchen! I’d love to win!
Those cookies of yours are too cute!
I’d have to say, I’m more of a taste tester than an adventurer. :)
Those lemon cookies! Adorable!
I would say I’m an adventurous cookie maker – but I sure do make one heck of a content taster as well.
I LOVE to bake!
I’m adventure cookie maker!!
I love to experiment
My instinct is to play it safe when I’m baking, but I try to change it up a little bit…I have a “wish list” of stuff I want to bake in the future, and I’m slowly (SLOWLY) chipping away at it!
Cookies are my favorite thing ever. I am definitely a very adventurous cookie baker.
Adventurous…just not that adventurous! But I’d love to change! :)
Both. Definitely both. Except I wouldn’t call it a “content taste tester”. When I bake, I also feel the need to over-consume. Luckily, I have a husband who will eat his fair share.
If that book would help me have ideas to make beautiful cookies, then count me in! Thanks!
I am an Adventurous cookie maker :o)
I took a look through Cookie Swap over the holidays and I was amazed with what was in there! It’s a gorgeous book with fantastic ideas! I’d definitely use it in my quest to be an Adventurous Baker! btw- Where did you get your flower plunger cutter? I’ve been looking for one of those everywhere!
Oh I’d love this book! I love to bake and make pretty things and impress people with them! Please please let me win this one!
I’m somewhere between adventurous cookie maker and expert cookie taster.
I love to try to bake new things. I’d rather bake then be the taste testing!
I try to be an adventurous cookie maker and I AM the experienced cookie taster. I tried doing Easter cake pops for my family. Uh. I’m glad they’re all about function over form! They gobbled the little blobs up in no time!! : )
i love adventure in the kitchen!! i absolutely love to make really cute things out of baking goods and that book looks totally amazing!!! i would looooooooove to try out some of thoses recepies :)
Totally an adventurous cookie maker!! I would love to check out these recipes.
I love to make all sorts of cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc. I like to try different flavors and frostings. But the best part, of course, is eating! (and sharing)
That book looks super cute! I have a friend who would absolutely die if I ever made her the Owl cookie on the cover!
I am a pretty adventerous baker. I would love this book so my mom, sister, daughter and I could all have a fun cookie decorating day with some new ideas!
making the cookie makes eating the cookie oh so fun! \o/
Oh! I love to bake up a normal cookie… I would be the content tatster for these spectacular beauties… But it might be fun to try on a long weekend… with bad weather outside! Fun Stuff…
I love baking cookies. I wish I had more patience to do all the detail work. I like your idea of using fondant, you don’t have to wait for them to dry!
I am definitely a cookie maker, but I’m not sure I’m quite adventurous as you.
mmmmmm. Those watermelon and lemon cookies are calling my name!!!!!!!
Please pick me… please..please?
Thanks.
Mary
Adventurous baker for sure. I rarely eat the cookies I make! I just think its fun to make and decorate them and then give them away.
I love to try new recipes every time, and make adventurous figures and funny creations to please my kid. Taste and consistency of the cookie are very important too, but anything with sugar is ok for me =D
How sweet! I love making cute little treats and have been inspired by many of your posts!
I’d say I am adventurous in the kitchen!
I’m definitely an adventurous cookie maker. My family are the sometimes-not-so-willing tasters! ;)
Thanks to you baking has become a serious obsession of mine. I usually end up trying out just about every idea you post! I can’t help myself! Granted my final product never looks like yours but I still can’t help but try!
ADVENTUROUS BAKER!!
I love to decorate AND taste test!
Oooooooooh! What a nice book! And your hats are sooooo beautiful!
I was once a cookie maker…. but now I could say I’m more of a taste taster! Although I could never bite into such a beautiful cookie! LOL, I’d be afraid to break it! LOL Those cookies are pure work of art!
IMPORTANT : I FORGOT TO WRITE MY NAME IN THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE!!!
As for the macarons, I often make a batch or 2 when I feel like cheating a little bit (ok, a lot)… It takes practices but you can get the hang of it! You make marvels, I don’t see why you couldn’t pipe nice macarons!
Anyway, I’m keeping my fingers crossed…. even though I know I won’t win! LOL This book sure looks fantastic and I wouldn’t mind having it in my tasty tester hands!
Están hermosas!! They are beautiful! Thanks Bakerella!
So pretty! I think I am more of a taster, but really want to learn how to decorate cookies.
Oh gosh. Those look AMAZING. I’m an adventurous baker, though, and I’d love to have a crack at that book.
ooh i love making cookies!!! these are AMAZING! i kinda need this book :)
These are fabulous!!! I’d love to adventure making these !
One word: adorable!!!
These cookies are beautiful. Perfect for a shower. I would love to have a copy of this book. I can’t think of a better way to spend some time than to bake gorgeous cookies.
Amazing! your site is so inspiring! Love it!
I am adventurous in both areas, but my baking NEVER turns out well when talking “rolled” cookies. I have yet to make a sugar cookie that was good and every time I say, “This is the LAST time I try!” But then I always try again…
what a great book! i love the idea of making those hat cookies for our Derby party!
Oooooooooh! What a nice book! And your hats are sooooo beautiful!

Beautiful cookies! I don’t think I am patient enough but would love to get a copy of the book and start trying! I’m an adventurous cook and baker!
I aspire to be adventureous, but truthfully I am a taste tester.
whoa… not that i have any chance of winning against THOUSANDS of people… but why not try. :)
i am definitely an adventurous cookie maker and i really want to try those wedding cake cookies!
I wish I had the time to bake. I’ll taste test any cookie though!
Love the cookies and the plunger cutter! Can’t wait to check out the book myself. Great job!
I’m content eating them (who isn’t), but I still love to attempt making fun cookies…with 4 little ones and one on the way, I think it may be mandatory to be able to make fun things like this…especially for “tea parties”! (Regardless if I’m good at it or not…little kids aren’t too picky.) :)
adventurous cookie maker! would love to try some of these!
I love these bonnets! I can’t wait to see what else you will make from the book! The lemons and watermelons are adorable!
Adventurous.. and realistic : ) I love to let my girls help me, so they may not be perfect but we love cooking and baking together!
I am definitely a content taste tester, but I would give this book to my sis and enjoy the fruits of her labors!
yumyumyum
I’m more the cookie monster / baker. Hoping to evolve into the adventurous baker heehee. Love the book!
I love trying new techniques when it comes to baking.
my cakes end up looking nothing like the original. my cake pops are average looking. maybe cookies is my ‘art’ form
I’m a cookie dough taster! My teen daughters love to bake so I let them do the cookie recipe choosing and baking. This book is perfect to take them to the next level!
Adventurous cookie maker!
so funny you should post this, I was just looking at this book at the store the other day!
omigosh! I absolutely love the little hats! I think this may be a better fondant avenue for me to go since my family is not a fan of fondant cake – a cookie should be a little less fondant to eat but beautiful still!
Wow, how gorgeous your cookies are! I even like them much more than the one in the book!
I like to bake cookies myself – and afterwards also to test them :-).
I have just recently found your site. You are amazing! I would love to be the adventuresome cookie maker, maybe this book would do the trick. Im definately an avid cookie taster.
Too cute! I am a little of both… Love making new things, but eating them is always the best part! :)
Amazing book — I would love to add it to my recipe book library!(which is primarily baking books!) I just LOVE cookies…
I’m both!
I would say I am both an adventurous cookie maker and a content taste tester! I love party themes and last year it was a watermelon birthday party for my 2 year old…boy would those cookies have been a hit! I would love to win this!!!!
I am most definitely an adventurous cookie baker. :)
Thank you for the giveaway opportunity! I love to try (try being the operative word) to make adventurous cookies, but I can never make them look pretty. They taste quite good, but look excessively “homemade.”
Those cookies are amazing! I love to bake and try to be adventurous, so I definitely would be trying out some of those cookies for my taste-testing hubby and family.
I LOVE to make cookies! My husband teases me because I am always wanting to take “Cute” cookies to parties. That book looks awesome!
I’m a content taste tester but would love to get creative and make some of these gorgeous creations with my two kitchen loving girls.
Hi I’m definitively adventurous cookie maker!!!! I love the cookie hats that you make they are gorgeous!
That cookie cookbook looks great! I love making cookies and the ones you did are so pretty…would love to be there to taste them too!!!
I’m an adventurous baker *and* taste tester. Would love to win!
Definitely adventurous cookie baker! Those are adorable! I would love to get my hands on that book. My younger sister and I bake and sell fondant covered sugar cookies. We just may have to try our hand at some Easter bonnets! Our site is http://www.howsweetitiscreations.com
Lately I’m an unadventurous cookie maker! I need some inspiration…like a cookbook….
I love those cookies!!! I would love to win that book and try my hand at them.
Definatly Adventerous!!!
Love trying new things!
omg these are so cute i just went into sweet shock.
Definitely just a taste tester.
Absolutely adorable. I’m an adventurous baker juuuuust beginning to launch a blog, so yours is really inspiring to me.
I need a bigger kitchen! Apartment living is beginning to not cut it anymore.
I need an adventure right now! I have spring fever and I’m up for the challenge!
I love to make cookies and I LOVE to eat them!
I definitely like to make cookies and the cuter the better!! I’d really love to make the watermelon and lemon cookies!!
Those are beautiful cookies!! I am currently in Germany, but after I move back to the states, I will be taking a stack of baking courses … hopefully to at least get on a par with you Bakerella :)
definitely a lil bit of both but more taster!! :)
I WISH I could bake cookies this delightful. I adore cookies of all varieties (although a double chocolate chip will always reign supreme in my eyes) but these just take the biscuit (pun totally intended). Adorable, I need to improve my cookie cutting skills before I attempt them though.
I’d say I’m more of a cupcake adventurer, but I am doing cookie bouquets for my best friend’s wedding shower in May, and that feels like it qualifies as an adventure!
I loooove making cookies! To me, icing them is very therapeutic!
i’m both! i really love it when the adventure turns out tasting yummy.
adventurous baker AND taste tester!!
I like baking and looking at cookies more than eating them. I like trying out new flavour combos and making them for others. I love the baking/ decorating part best. And I love, love, love an iced cookie – it’s the best kind of ART – beautiful and edible!
At the moment I am dreaming of macarons. They’re dancing around my head. But what does one do with all the egg yolks left over?
Yay for cookies!! I love to try new things and be adventurous when it comes to baking!! The book looks awesome!
I try adventerous cookie endeavors, but they often turn into taste cookies due to baker’s error!
I’m definitely in the adventurous cookie maker category. Or adventurous cake baker. Not that I’m against eating the end result. :)
I’ve been considering getting one of those plunger cutters for a while now – maybe it’s time I go out and splurge.
