I have to show you the adorable cookies we made this weekend. I got creative and made an arrangement out of them. I’ve never tried this before, but for my first time I think it came out pretty cute.
I’m thinking about making another one for Mother’s Day.
Of course we had to make some Easter cookies too :)
This is what I used (milk for frosting not pictured)
Follow the package directions
(I always chill my dough for a few hours, it’s just easier for me to work with)
Cut out shapes, insert lollipop stick, bake 7-9 mins, cool
The royal icing recipe was adapted from all recipes
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tsp milk
2 tsp light corn syrup
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
food coloring
Mix sugar and milk until smooth. Add corn syrup and extract.
I needed much more icing than this recipe makes so I increased the confectioners sugar and milk until I got the right consistency. If your icing is too stiff, increase the milk a teaspoon at a time.
I used a wilton #3 tip, but you can also just cut the tip off the piping bag and that works just as well.
I’m definitely not a pro at this but I simply lined the border then filled the center and used a toothpick to spread it out.
Once it dried I outlined the cookies with a different color.
For the arrangement I inserted the cookie pops into styrofoam, using a pail I had around the house. Then topped it with some Easter grass.
The kids and I had a great time making these. They did all the sugaring and I even helped them pipe a few of them. My 7 year old did the blue and pink polka dot egg all by himself, I think he did a great job!
Have you ever made a cookie bouquet? I’d love to see it!

Wow I absolutely LOVE these, they look beautiful AND delicious!!
Thank you so much for linking up to my party! You have so many great ideas – I have loved looking over your stuff!
I made these last month but didn't have any instructions. I posted a link to your great tutorial on our blog. Thanks!

wonderful! I've seen them for sale, but never thought they could be made at home.

This is my first time at your blog, and I love it! I love the fact that you used premade cookie dough and aren't all, "First I churned my own butter, and then I grew some wheat and made flour…" because so many baking/craft/mom blogs make everything so difficult that I don't even attempt it! I also love that your projects are practical and useful, and not just going to make more knick-knacks for me to dust. =) Thank you!
EEEEE cookies! Oh I love cookies on a stick. You can make such cute designs, just like you did here! Thank you so much for posting at the beagle.
