I use sugar cookie dough. They look really pretty for a Valentine's party. I'll even take a mini heart cookie cutter for the back. Just roll out a quarter-size circle of dough, place popcycle stick on it; then place your cut out on top, frost & wrap with plastic wrap & curly ribbon.
Here's my recipe.
Sugar Cookies 3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla 2 3/4 cups flour 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt
Beat butter & sugar until creamy. Beat in eggs & vanilla. Slowly add flour, baking powder & salt. Blend well. Cover & refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hr or for up to 3 days.
Roll out & cut desired shapes. Bake 350 degrees for 5-7 min, edges slightly browned. Makes about 4 dozen.
Frosting 1/3 cup butter 3 cups powdered sugar 1 1/2 tsp vanilla 2 tablespoons milk
