If you're looking for a cute, fun, unique Valentine gift, these sugar cookie lollipops are the perfect thing for you! They make perfect little treats to give to those you care about. The best part about this is the sugar cookie recipe. In fact, I think it's my new favorite. I found it
here, but adjusted it slightly. This recipe is full of delicious, sweet, sugar cookie flavor rather than being bland. It's also moist and chewy, instead of turning into a shortbread-like substance. You can adjust thickness when you roll them out, depending if you like a softer or crisper cookie. All of these things are good, but not the best. So what is the best thing? The dough is SUPER easy to work with! It is the least temperamental sugar cookie dough I have ever handled. All nibbling considered, I came out with about 36 cookies, so you will have plenty to give to your friends and family.
1/2 C Butter, softened
2 C Sugar
2 Eggs
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 1/2 C All Purpose Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2-3 T Milk
Sprinkles
30-40 Dowels
30-40 Sandwich Bags
Ribbon
1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cover and chill dough for at least one hour. Dough should be relatively stiff.
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On a floured (I use powdered sugar) surface roll out dough 1/4- 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes.
3. On the back of the shapes, brush a strip of milk. Gently press a dowel slightly into the cookie.
4. With scrap pieces of dough, cover the dowel and gently seal the edges. You may use a fork to score the edges for a better seal.
5. Place cookies 1 inch apart on a greased cookie sheet
6. Brush lightly with milk and sprinkle
7. Bake for 6-8 minutes until edges are just brown
8. Let cool. Cover with sandwich bags and tie a bow out of ribbon around the dowel. Enjoy and share!
Mahlzeit!
