I totally forgot about these! My Mom used to make them for big events when I was in high school - big games, homecoming, etc. She used her standby chocolate chip cookie recipe which made thick, fairly soft cookies and made the stems with florist wire rather than lollipop sticks. Put them in a big box that long stem roses came in with tissue and a big bow. It was a hoot.
This was pretty cool too - she had some of the chocolate molds that made lollipops and would make enormous chocolate heart bouquets in the box mentioned above. I used to think I was just the coolest thing going. HA!
They're both very easy to make. With the cookies you need a recipe that won't spread. As an alternative, you could "glue" two thinner cookies together with a layer of chocolate.
