Day Four: Sugar Cookie Lollipops


You can use pre-made sugar cookie dough for this, or here is my favorite recipe...

Recipe:

1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. powdered sugar
2 eggs
3/4 c. canola or vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cream of tarter

Beat butter and shortening together until light and fluffy. Add granulated and powdered sugar, mixing well. Next mix in eggs, oil, and vanilla until well blended. Combine flour and next three ingredients to butter mixture. Blending well. Cover and chill dough for two hours or over night.

What you will need:

colored sugars
sprinkles
4" white craft sticks

Directions:

Shape cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch (about) balls. Roll each ball into sprinlkes or colored sugar, pressing gently to coat dough balls.  Place about 2" apart on ungreased baking sheet, insert craft stick about 1/3 of the way into the sugar coated balls to look like a lollipop. Bake @ 350 for 10-12 minutes. Let the cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes then remove and place on a cooling rack.
