How to Make Flower Cookies on Sticks
The flower-shaped cookies on sticks are lovely gifts: you can wrap them and give them to someone special.
Here are the ingredients for these cookies:
500 g type 00 flour
250 g softened butter
200 g sugar
vanilla flavouring
1 pinch of salt
2 whole eggs
Preparing the dough for the cookies on sticks
Make the shortcrust dough by placing the ingredients in a well on the work surface, or use a bowl.
Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for a few hours. Then take it out and roll it with a rolling pin to about 2 cm thick.
Use a cookie cutter to cut small flower shapes from the shortcrust dough.
There are 3 cutters in increasing sizes, so you can make large and small flowers for the arrangement.
Insert the stick into the cookie after dipping it in jam or food-grade jelly.
Cover with another cookie and seal the edges well.
Prepare a batch and bake at 180°C for 20 minutes.
After baking, move on to decoration.
Decorate with coloured sugar paste, which is available ready-made in different colours that can also be mixed together.
Place a square piece of polystyrene cake dummy inside a ceramic pot and cover it with sugar paste.
Insert the flower cookies and embellish them with small flowers made using plunger cutters for sugar paste.
