Questions about making a cookie bouquet?

Hi!


I'm wanting to make a cookie bouquet for my friends family for easter. I've tried making it before but I had some problems.


first off how do I make a dough that will not spread or will not spread much because last time it distorted the shape.


How do I put the stick in the cookies. do I bake it in with the cookies? If they are the paper sticks will the catch on fire or scorch?


Thanks so much!

Questions about making a cookie bouquet?
Refrigerated sugar cookie dough


Cookie sheet


Wooden craft sticks or thin dowels


Pre-mixed white icing


Food coloring


Metal spatula


Wax paper


Rubber band


Colored plastic wrap





Step 1:


Pre-heat your oven to the temperature on the cookie packaging.





Step 2:


Open a package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough. Roll out the dough into eight 2-inch-sized balls or use a small heart cookie cutter to shape the dough into heart shapes.





Step 3:


Place the balls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Insert wooden craft sticks or thin dowels into each cookie ball. Flatten the balls slightly.





Step 4:


Bake for about 13-to-15 minutes. Check on the cookies toward the end of the timeframe and remove them when the edges of the cookies are browned and crisp.





Step 5:


Mix icing with pre-mixed white icing and food coloring while your cookies are baking. You can use icing on your cookies with different colors or just use red and white.





Step 6:


Use a metal spatula to move the cookies from the cookie sheet to a sheet of waxed paper when they are done. Let them cool completely before icing.





Step 7:


Put the cookies together to make a bouquet. Wrap a rubber band around the ends of the sticks and wrap the sticks with colored plastic wrap.





***You can also make your bouquet out of chocolate chip cookie dough if you don't want to spend time icing them.
