Transfer cookies are decorated with an image printed on special paper that is transferred onto the surface of the cookie. This paper, called transfer sheet, has a layer of sugar and starch that lets the image stick to the cookie.
To make transfer cookies, first bake the cookies and let them cool. Then print the image you want on the transfer sheet using edible ink. Cut out the image and place it on the surface of the cookie, pressing lightly so it transfers properly.
Transfer cookies are a creative, fun way to personalize cookies for any occasion, from birthdays to weddings. Once the image is on the cookie, you can add more decoration with icing, sprinkles or other trimmings.
