Coat the inside of a large microwave-safe bowl with a thin layer of vegetable shortening, and add 1lb of marshmallows. Make sure to also coat your spatula with shortening.

Add the water and flavor extract and coat the marshmallows with it.

Microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted, stirring in between.

Add half the confectioners sugar to the bowl and combine with the melted marshmallows.

Spread a thin layer of shortening on the surface of the table. Pour the rest of the sugar on top of it.

Pour the marshmallow mixture on top of the sugar and start kneading it in. Use a bench scraper to help collect the sugar from the table and incorporate it into the fondant mixture.

Once the fondant mixture is fully incorporated, cover it completely and tightly with plastic wrap and let it rest overnight.

Use a fondant rolling pin to roll the dough out thinly. Cut fondant with cookie cutters, pastry wheels, or any other fondant tools. Use a wet paintbrush to brush the back of the fondant with water; this will act as a glue, and your fondant can now be applied to your cookie, cake, etc.
