Cookies on a Stick

I had a bunch of friends over for a girls night over the summer. We made a ton of "cookies on a stick" to give to others. We had a great time baking and hanging out. I have some awesome friends!

In August Garrett and I left Utah to go to Oregon and Canada for three weeks. We were going to miss 3 Sundays with our Sunbeam class (3 year olds) so the day after my friends and I made cookies I went to each child's house and delivered cookies to them. The cookie recipe is sooooo delicious.

I found the recipe at allrecipes.com, here. It makes 72 cookies.

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter, softened
• 3 cups white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter flavored extract
• 7 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Cream margarine and sugar. Add eggs and flavorings and mix well. Stir flour, baking powder and salt together. Add to batter and mix well.
2. CHILL 3-4 hours or overnight before using.
3. Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.
4. Bake cookies at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8-10 minutes. This dough keeps well in a covered container in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
5. Decorate as desired. Display 3-7 cookies in a 6 inch clay pot (depending on size of cookie). Weigh pot down with dried beans and cut a circle of Styrofoam to fit snugly into top. Add ribbons and enjoy
