Rolled Buttercream

*Dries strong enough to package and stack.
*Tastes EXACTLY like buttercream
*has a soft bite
* royal icing can be used to decorate after it crusts

2 sticks (1 cup), soft butter, shortening, or a combination of both
3 TBS. cornsyrup
3 tsp. Extracts/flavorings/emulsions
1 tsp. white gel color
2 lbs. powdered sugar
Beat with a paddle, beat all together until it comes away clean from the sides of the bowl. Should come together like soft play dough. Turn out and wrap with plastic wrap. Let rest or use right away.
Store unused dough wrapped in the fridge(up to 3weeks). Freeze for 3 months. It warms immediately in your hands as you work with it.

*Acts a lot like fondant

To cover a cookie:
Roll between two pieces of parchment paper. Remove the outer scraps(can be rerolled as much as needed) and lift the parchment to peel off the shapes. Attach with a thinly painted layer of cornsyrup.
Let dry overnight to crust.
Can be colored or painted.
Attach dry molded pieces of rolled buttercream with cornsyrup.

To mold or imprint:
Dust mold with cornstarch. Push into mold. Freeze 10 mins if it is too soft to remove from the mold. Air dry overnight on paper towels. Can be painted, dusted, airbrushed, stenciled, and attached once dry with cornsyrup.
* These are strong enough to package and stack after crusted.
* dust with cornstarch before packaging.
* DOES NOT MELT on the cookie in 80°-90° heat for 3 hours

Love this RBC. Will be using it alot. My first attempt I decided to experiment. I wanted 1/2 peanut butter flavored RBC to top your chocolate sugar cookie recipe & 1/2 cake batter flavor for your reg sugar cookies.
I added 1 tsp butter vanilla emulsion and 1 tsp reg vanilla. When it pulled away from the sides I divided it in half.
I then added 5 Tablespoons Jif peanut butter and 40 drops LA oils peanut butter flavor and mixed with mixer 2 1/2 T & 20 drops at a time untill combined. It rolled out nice after resting and crusted over in 10 hrs. I used it the 2nd day from sitting in the fridge it was just as easy to roll too. Everyone loved the rich PB flavor on your Choc cookies !
The 2nd half I made Cake batter flavored I added 1 1/2 tsp McCormick cake batter flavor and mixed it in the mixer.
That was a hit too.
The PB was not as soft as the other so next time I may add a tsp of kayo syrup to PB.
Thank you for this recipe.

Ohhhh you’ve just changed my life!! I’m going to try this! I know many people aren’t fans of fondant so I wanted to try a different technique and I think I’ve found it!!

I am new to cookie decorating. Have mainly been a macaron baker. So happy to find you. I can see so many ideas that can cross over to macarons plus be super fun on cookies.

[browneyedcarol]

I was about to give up on cookie decorating cookies until I saw this video! Gonna give it one more chance! Thank you!

[leannefinlayson]

so i totally made some cookies last night for my boys baseball teams using your rolled buttercream recipe, which was so easy to handle. My kiddos loved it, which was great to hear cuz i dont taste test anything! the only hard part i found was written on them or trying to write on them with food markers. I ended up using gel color instead, as the markers wanted to dent the crust. if you have a food marker that you used on rolled buttercream and it worked well i would love to hear about it.

This recipe is FANTASTIC for anyone wanted to try it!!!!

Great video I'm actually trying it today. Can't wait to see how it turns out. I have ALWAYS used buttercream frosting on my cookies. People seem to really like my sugar cookies with buttercream frosting.
