Recipe(tried): Cookies on a stick

I do this all the time with my grandson for treats to give to the relatives and
I use Pillsbury Sugar cookies from the dairy case. I cut them extra thick,
roll them out, cut out with cookie cutters, put a glob of cookie dough on the
stick, lay the cookie over it and bake. I saw this done on TV the other day
and to decorate, they sliced the cookies thick, left them round, put them on a
cookie sheet and inserted the stick in the side and baked. When they finished,
they were cooled dipped in a choc. coating, half way. I do mine something
similar, but let my grandson drizzle, dip or whatever different flavored
coating, and put on sprinkles, nuts, etc.

OH! My mom used to make these for me!
Posted by: Kathy/IL on Wednesday August 26th 1998 06:57:50 PM

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.

Cookie on a stick

I do these, but use Pillsbury sugar cookie dough from the dairy case. I roll these out, cut and place on the stick. I press the stick in a piece of cookie dough about the size of a wad of bubble gum and lay the cut out cookie on top and press down lightly, bake as directed and cool. They are then ready to decorate.
