Rainy Day Pick me Up: Cookie Lollipops

It's been raining here for two days now. We all needed a little pick-me-up so I decided to bake Lollipop Cookies! These always turn blah moods into smiling faces. :)

Here's what you'll need:
  • 1 roll of refrigerated sugar-cookie dough
  • Wooden Craft Sticks
  • Colored Sprinkles
  • Optional* Parchment Paper

Here's how you make them:
  • Cut the dough into approx. 3/8 inch slices
  • Place slices of dough 4 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet or parchment paper for easy clean up!
    (Do not use wax paper for a substitute for parchment paper!) The reason
    I know this is because my MIL tried it and let's just say, it wasn't a good thing. ;)
  • Insert a wooden craft stick into each cookie to make it resemble a lollipop
  • Shake colored sprinkles onto each cookie
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
  • Allow to cool completely before serving

They are definitely kid approved - you can see the silliness come out. There is just something about food on a stick that brings out the best in people. :)
