To bake these adorable cookie pops, simply roll balls of sugar cookie dough in colored sprinkles and insert a white craft stick before baking. Make a colorful (and edible) centerpiece for the kids' table by filling a container with florist foam, topping it with jelly beans, and then sticking the pops into the foam. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 cup powdered sugar |
2 large eggs |
3/4 cup canola or vegetable oil |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
colored sugars, sparkling sugars, and multicolored jimmies |
4 white craft sticks |
Directions:
1. Beat butter and shortening at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy; add sugars, beating well. Add eggs, oil, and vanilla, beating until blended.
2. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to butter mixture, blending well. Cover and chill dough 2 hours or overnight.
3. Shape dough into 1 1/2 balls. Roll each ball in colored sugar or jimmies in individual bowls, pressing gently, if necessary, to coat balls. Place 2 apart on ungreased baking sheets. Insert craft sticks about 1 into each cookie to resemble a lollipop.
4. Bake at 350° for 10 to 11 minutes or until set. Let cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookie pops to wire racks to cool completely.
