Pumpkin Cookie Pops

Ingredients and Directions

1 roll (18 oz.) refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 can (16 oz.) vanilla frosting

Orange and green food coloring

2 cups M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies for Halloween

2 cookie sheets

25 colored craft sticks

Yield: Makes approximately 30 pops.

Prep Time: 10 min.

Bake Time: 15 min.

Decoration Time: 20 min.

Difficulty: Easy

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

2. Cut approximately 30 1/4-inch slices of cookie dough. Place them on the cookie sheets. Slip a colored craft stick’s 2-inch tip underneath each cookie. At the top of each cookie and directly on the opposite side of the craft stick make a small dimple in the dough.

3. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer to a wire rack, and let cool completely.

4. Tint a quarter cup of frosting with the green food coloring. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag, snip a small corner, and set aside.

5. Tint the remaining frosting with the orange food coloring. Spread it on the cookie tops. Use the green frosting to pipe the pumpkin stems around the dimples. Use M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies to decorate the cookies like Jack-O-Lanterns.
