Cookie pops for bouquets or centerpieces 'On sticks'. Vanilla is the standard flavoring but just about any flavoring (extract) can be used. Try almond, maple, lemon, or orange. You be the judge.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2-1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 4-1/2 cups self-rising flour
  • 24 popsicle sticks

Directions

Preheat oven to 350*F.
Combine butter, baking soda, white sugar and your favorite extract flavor. Beat these ingredients together with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add self-rising flour and beat well.
Roll dough into walnut sized balls. Place them two inches apart onto a cookie sheet and flatten slightly. Press ice cream stick into the flattened side of the cookie, and press down. This way, you know how large the cookies will be when baked. Add whatever topping to each cookie you like, OR, before pressing stick into cookie, roll each cookie into sprinkles first, then flatten.
Bake until edges are lightly golden


Makes 2 dozen (24 servings) This recipe is easily halved.
