8 flat wooden sticks
Decorator icing (optional)
Candies (optional)
Melted chocolate (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Shape cookie dough into eight 2-inch balls. Place four balls at a time onto ungreased baking sheet. Insert wooden sticks into each ball to resemble a lollipop; flatten dough slightly. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until edges are crisp. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minute; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired. Tie ribbons around sticks and give as a bunch.
Makes 8 cookies.
