Ingredients

2

                        pouches Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix

1/4

cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

1

cup butter, softened

2

eggs

1/4

teaspoon each red, yellow, green, blue and purple paste food color

25

paper lollipop sticks

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, flour, butter and eggs until dough forms. Divide dough evenly into 5 portions; tint each portion with different paste food color, kneading until blended.

Break off 2-inch portions of each color dough. On lightly floured surface, gently press dough portions together to form a large round, about 1 inch thick. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3-inch flower-shaped cookie cutter. On ungreased cookie sheets, place cutouts 2 inches apart. Insert 1 lollipop stick halfway into center of each cookie.

Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely.
