Set out a basket of these pleasing "lollipops" at your next bazaar or family event and watch them disappear! You can easily create characters by icing the cookies with store-bought frosting like the CT home economists did here or serve them plain just as Jan Cassidy of El Reno, Oklahoma often does. "Our children love eating cookies either way," Jan details. "What I enjoy is the fact that serving the sweets on sticks like this keeps messy hands to a minimum."—Jan Cassidy, El Reno, Oklahoma

2 eggs

2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

These are delicious, easy and fun to make.We've made them for birthday parties and decorated them differently, but they are a hit every time. (*We varied the decoration for a birthday part and frosted the back side of the cookie. The flat side made for an easier frosting surface.)
