FUN WITH THE KIDS LOLLIPOP COOKIES

Of course, you could always make your own cookies from scratch as well as the frosting.

1 pouch sugar cookie mix (grocery baking aisle)

1/2 cup butter, melted
1 large egg
20 to 24 wooden sticks with rounded ends (like popsicle sticks)
1 tub creamy frosting 
assorted candies
decorating gels

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Get out a couple of baking sheets but do not grease; set aside.

In a medium bowl, stir the sugar cookie mix, melted butter, and egg. Stir until a soft dough forms. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 3-inches apart onto the ungreased baking sheets. Insert a wooden stick into each drop of dough until the stick tip reaches the middle of the cookie dough drop. Bake cookies 8 to 11 minutes or until the are puffed up and the edges are a light golden brown. Do not over bake. Cool for a minute before attempting to remove from the baking sheets. Cool completely on wire racks. This should take about a half hour.

Frost cookies with the tub of frosting, using food coloring if you want special colors. Decorate as desired with the candies and decorating gels. Store loosely covered.

These cookies are great for children's parties, holidays, or to make cookie bouquets.
