Fantastic Beasts Newt’s Hufflepuff Scarf Cookies
Fantastic Beasts Newt’s Hufflepuff Scarf Cookies
Fantastic Beasts is such an incredible story. If you read the books or watched the films, it’s easy to get captivated. To celebrate the release of the new film, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, I thought what better way than to make cookies? These super cute Fantastic Beasts Newt’s Hufflepuff Scarf Cookies are sure to be a hit with the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts lovers alike!
J.K. Rowling confirmed that Newt indeed wears a Hufflepuff scarf. So, this is a nod to all those in the Hufflepuff house. The bowtie is an homage to Newt himself. Myself, I am a Gryffindor but, do have Hufflepuffs in my life. I hope you enjoy these!
Read on for the full step-by-step recipe for these Fantastic Beasts Newt’s Hufflepuff Scarf Cookies!
Things You Will Need:
- Your favorite sugar cookie recipe
- Yellow decorating icing
- 6-7 oz. black fondant
- 3 oz. purple fondant
- icing spatula
- baking measuring cut mat
Yields: One dozen decorated cookies
Step 1:
Prepare cookie dough according to recipe’s directions and roll it out to be ¼ of an inch thick. Using a paring knife, cut cookies into rectangles: about 3 in. x 1.5 in. in size. Bake according to directions and allow to cool before decorating.
If any cookie dough remains, refrigerate in plastic wrap for future use!
Step 2:
Using an offset spatula, spread yellow icing on each cookie.
Step 3:
Roll out black fondant so that it’s about ¼ of an inch thick. Cut them into small rectangles, about ½ in. x 1.5 in. in size.
Step 4:
Place 4 rectangles on each cookie, leaving spaces in-between each one.
Step 5:
Roll your purple fondant into 24 small spheres, about ¼ of an inch in size. Flatten each sphere and pinch one end so that it resembles a teardrop. Stick two tear-drop fondant pieces together, in the middle (they should mirror each other).
Step 6:
Cut out 12 pieces of purple fondant into small squares. Place in the center of each double teardrop.
Step 7:
Press and shape until it resembles a bowtie. Use a paring knife to make little indents on the bowtie and place one bowtie on each cookie.
