I know I promised you some pictures of the other felt projects I had made, but there was absolutely NO SUNSHINE anywhere near my house to take a decent picture (and the ones I took with the flash looked horrible). So I will post it later. Here is something I already had on tab…Play Dough Lollipop Cookies!
What better way to brighten up a snowy afternoon than make these bright and colorful lollipop cookies.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened
3 ounces cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt assorted colors of paste food coloring
24 lollipop sticks
Directions:
In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth.
In a medium bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir till soft dough forms.
Divide dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food color. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Working with half of each color, shape dough into 3/4 inch balls and for each cookie place 1 of each color together to form a large ball.
Shape into a 12 inch long roll by rolling with palms of hands into a snake like rope.
Start at one end and coil roll to make a 2 3/4 inch round cookie. Place cookies 3 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Carefully insert lollipop sticks into bottoms of cookies.
Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool and store in an airtight container.
These were so fun to make. My daughters helped me one snowy afternoon! These would be so fun to give as a gift to someone, or save them to eat yourself! These are so colorful, I think looking at them made me happier than eating them! A perfect pick me up for the winter blahs!
I found this recipe at AllRecipes here.

These are great! We just made the rainbow cake for my 5 yr olds birthday, and I felt the same way. It made me happy just to LOOK at it. Okay but it tasted pretty good too! LOL
My kids would LOVE me if I made these! I just need some paste food coloring…where do I get that? I'm definitely going to have to try these!!! thanks!!
You can get the paste food coloring at Walmart and most craft stores

Brilliant! I love them! Thanks for sharing.

I think these would make awesome party favors for my daughter's 3rd birthday party! It's not until April, but a girl's got to plan ahead, right? lol.
OMG I had just posted something about play dough on my blog this week, but this is so much better. I would love to put a link to your blog on my post, is that ok if I do it? You have the best ideas ever!!!
Thanks,

These are PERFECT for my son's 5th birthday bash!! THANK YOU!!!
I change my blog url, I am the one that posted something about play dough this week and would like to know if I could link to your blog.
Thanks,
Emilia
This sounds so fun. Think I'll try it tomorrow, or Monday. Been feeling the "blahs" all the past 2 days.
I really love this idea!
WOW I LOVE YOUR BLOG!! A friend just introduced me to it and I'm having so much fun going through all your post! You're so talented!! I am a new follower :)
This is perfect for my daughter's Candy Land themed birthday party that's coming up. I wanted some type of non-candy treat, and this is it! Thanks!
SO cute…may make these for my 2 year old class Valentine's party. Thanks for sharing.
OMG, these are cute. I don't even have kids and I'd make them.
Thanks for sharing, your ideas are always so fun! What a great mommy you are! Your site has definitely inspired me and I can't wait to use some of your ideas as my family grows. I love these lollipop cookies,they will be perfect for my son's first birthday party! I am so excited!
I found something as a substitute lollipop stick and hope I can manage to get some coloring with just normal food coloring. I live in a small town nowhere near a craft store. I'm trying to make the Valentine version.
I'll let you know how they work. I wish I had access to nicer craft supplies around here.
These are so great. Making the Valentines Day ones this week for a little play date but am very excited to make the rainbow ones for my daughters Over the Rainbow party this spring.
Thanks for this idea! I made them for our preschool group when we learned about r and instead of making them lolipops we made them into rainbows. So fun!
What great cookies! I am making these for the office, I know I should use red and pinks for Valentine's Day but I am using these colors since we have snow and they are so very cheery! I do have a one question though, you call for butter so should I actually use butter or margarine? I made my dough last night and plan on making the cookies tonight and I am hoping they turn out since I actually used butter and not margarine. Thank you for such a wonderful blog! I love your ideas! Making the decorative soap bottles next!
Very cute! I love the AllRecipes.com website, but I haven't seen this recipe.
We are going to be moving out of state next week and my son wants to make these for the kids in his Sunday School class as a "Thank You for being my friend" gift, and I'll give him credit for home ec/art today :)
Thanks for sharing!
I made these with my kids and they loved them! I posted my pictures and linked back to you! Thanks for sharing.

Just made Edible Playdoh… I let the kids make what they chose to instead of the lollipops but it definitly turned out great .I used 1/2 cup of butter, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 cup of flour, and a splash of vanilla extract. The kids loved it and they looked great. 14 kids 2 groups of 4, 2 groups of 3. Each group made different colours then they shared the colours.
What a great party idea! My daughter will turn 4 soon and loves rainbows.
how many cookies does this recipe make if i do it exactly like you said?
