Cream together first 4 ingredients. Mix remaining dry ingredients
together and mix in with the creamed mixture. Add enough flour to
handle dough. Roll cookies out on floured board and cut with your
favorite cookie cutters. Bake 350 or 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes
until lightly browned on the outside edges.
For a flower bouquet, use flower-shaped cookie cutters to cut out
cookies. Roll cookie dough 1/2 inch thick to accommodate popsicle
or lollipop sticks. Gently insert stick into cookies before baking.
You may need to bake an extra minute or two because of the thicker
dough. Watch closely while baking.
After cookies cool, frost with your favorite frosting and/or outline
cookies with decorator icing.
Wrap cookies in saran wrap or small cellophane gift bags. Tie a
ribbon bow around each cookie. Arrange cookie pops in a terra cotta
pot with styrofoam in the bottom to hold cookies.
Cookie bouquets can be made from any kind of refrigerated cookie
dough, and are great for any occasion. Experiment with your favorite
recipes!
