POP ART COOKIES
1 pouch sugar cookie mix
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 egg
12 wooden sticks with rounded ends
3 to 4 pouches decorator icing, assorted colors (or 1 container ready-made frosting (any white variety) with assorted food colors)
Assorted candy decorations
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, flour and egg until soft dough forms. Roll dough on floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick. Cut with 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Carefully insert a wooden stick into side of each cookie.
Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute before removing from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Use pouches of decorator icing to decorate cookies as desired.
If using container of frosting, divide frosting among 4 small bowls. Tint frosting in 3 of the bowls with different color of food color. Reserve some of the tinted frostings for piping on designs. Frost cookies with remaining white and tinted frostings.
For piping, place each tinted frosting in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; snip off tiny corner of bag. Pipe frostings on cookies in desired designs. Decorate with candy decorations.
