Flower Power Cookie Pops Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy; add almond paste. Beat in egg, milk and vanilla. Combine flour and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour., Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut out with floured 3-in. cookie cutters. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Insert skewers or sticks. Bake 7-8 minutes or until firm. Let stand 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool., In a bowl, whisk confectioners' sugar and milk. Divide into small bowls; tint with food coloring. Gently spread icing over cooled cookies. Decorate with other colors of icing if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the lollipops 2 inches from the edge of the pan and 4 inches apart.
• Mix the cookie dough with the flour until it is an even texture. Use a round teaspoon measuring spoon to form leveled half circles. Use your finger to gently ease the dough out of the spoon. Place 5 of the half circles, rounded-side up, around each lollipop, leaving a little space so that they are not quite touching.
• Bake the cookies, rotating the pans top to bottom and front to back midway through baking, until the candy melts and the cookies are slightly puffed and just golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on the pans until the candy hardens, about 10 minutes.
