Windmills on a Stick Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 30 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg, separated
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2/3 cup colored sugars
30 milk chocolate M&M's
30 wooden or craft sticks

Directions

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter and egg yolk until smooth. Combine flour and baking powder; beat into cream cheese mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 15-in. x 9-in. rectangle. With a sharp knife or pastry wheel, cut dough into 3-in. squares. Place 3 in. apart on lightly greased baking sheets.
Beat egg white until frothy; brush over squares. Sprinkle with colored sugars. Cut through the dough from each corner of a square to within 1/2 in. of the center. Fold alternating points to the center to form a windmill; pinch gently at center to seal.
Press an M&M into each center. Gently press a wooden stick near the dough points. Bake at 350° for 9-12 minutes or until set (cookies will not brown). Remove immediately to wire racks to cool. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
