Making cookie pops

I know I didn't get these photo's in the right order...still trying to figure out how to work the blogging thing..lol..but you can get the idea.

So here ya go if you want to make some Cookie Pops.

It's really easy to make these. Just use a sugar cookie recipe and any type of cut outs you want. I will be using hearts next month for Valentine's Day...and Easter Egg cut outs come Easter.

You can get the sticks at any craft store and you just bake them right in the cookie. Very simple. After you get your cookies out of the oven you can decorate them.

The icing I used here is just

one cup powdered sugar ,

two teaspoons light corn syrup

two teaspoons milk

...until I got it as thinned out as I wanted. You can add more corn syrup a teaspoon at a time to get the consistency that you want.

Pour the icing over the cookies and let it dry. You can tint the icing with food coloring if you don't want white icing. Like I did with the Santa.

After they dry you can use Royal Icing to decorate.

Royal Icing Recipe

3 Tablespoons Wilton Meringue Powder

(you can get it where you get the sticks in the craft store...

I got my stuff at Michael's )

4 cups powdered sugar

6 Tablespoon water

Beat all ingredients at low speed for 7-10 minutes until icing forms peaks.

Once they are all dried I wrap them in cellophane and ribbon. They make great last minute gifts. You can freeze the cookies before you decorate them for a couple of months. When you need them you can just take them out and decorate.
