These cute cookie pops are a big hit at bake sales, writes Brenda Bawdon of Alpena, South Dakota. I sell them for $1 a piece and they disappear! The bright and cheery faces catch the kids' eyes, making them surefire sellers. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1/3 cup 2% milk |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons cream of tartar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
about 24 popsicle sticks |
1 cup vanilla frosting |
red, blue and green paste food coloring |
assorted small candies |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Roll dough into 1-1/2-in. balls; insert a Popsicle stick in the center of each.
2. Place 2 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets; flatten slightly. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
3. Divide frosting among three bowls; tint as desired. Place each color of frosting in a resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe hair and mouths onto cookies; use a dab of frosting to attach small candies for eyes. Let dry for at least 30 minutes. Yield: about 2 dozen.
