To make the cute flower lollipops, cut the dough in flower shape and a circle in the middle. Place it on top of a lollipop stick with the tip showing in the middle. Place a life saver in the middle and bake as instructed below.
Ingredients
·
2 cups all-purpose flour
·
1/4 teaspoon salt
·
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
·
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
·
1 cup sugar
·
1 large egg, lightly beaten
·
2 tablespoons brandy, or milk
·
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
·
Royal Icing, optional
Preparation
1.
Whisk together flour, salt, and
baking powder in a medium bowl; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer
fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar; mix until light and
fluffy. With mixer running, add egg, brandy, and vanilla; mix until well
combined. With the mixer on low, slowly add reserved flour mixture. Mix until
just combined.
2.
Transfer dough to a work surface.
Shape into 2 discs, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1
hour.
3.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line
baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper; set aside.
4.
On a lightly floured work surface,
roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes, and transfer to
prepared baking sheets, leaving an inch in between. Leftover dough can be
rolled and cut once more. Bake until lightly golden, about 10 minutes; do not
allow to brown. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
5.
Decorate with Royal Icing and/or
sugar, optional.
