Cookie Pops Recipes

CHRISTINA'S COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• Bake cookies according to package directions. Immediately after removing from oven, insert a lollipop stick into 1 end of each cookie. Place on a rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, divide icing into as many small bowls as you wish to color. Mix desired food coloring into each bowl.
• Ice the cookies in different colors and decorate with candy, and sprinkles.

COOKIE DOUGH POPS

Steps:

• With an electric mixer or by hand, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce and vanilla in a bowl. Slowly add in the almond flour and salt. Mix in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for at least 20 minutes (or overnight) to make it easier to scoop.
• Using a mini ice-cream scooper, scoop the dough into little balls. Roll the dough into each topping separately, add sticks and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

POP ART COOKIE POPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, flour and egg until dough forms. Roll dough on floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick. Cut with 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Carefully insert a wooden stick into side of each cookie.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Divide frosting among 4 small bowls. Tint frosting in 3 of the bowls with different color of food color. Reserve some of the tinted frostings for piping on designs. Frost cookies with remaining white and tinted frostings. For piping, place each tinted frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; snip off tiny corner of bag. Pipe frostings on cookies in desired designs. Decorate with candy decorations.

FLOWER COOKIE POPS

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.
