Preparation Information

Recipe makes about

11 cookie pops

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 roll (16.5 oz) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • ¾ cup flour
  • 1 box (16 oz) confectioner's sugar
  • 3 tablespoons egg white powder
  • Red and blue paste food coloring
  • 1 cup each (about 8 oz) Jelly Belly jelly beans in flavors:
    Blueberry | Coconut | Very Cherry
  • 1 cup (about 8 oz) Champagne Bubbles

SUPPLIES

  • Lollipop sticks
  • Styrofoam
  • Small vase or pot

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Knead the flour into the sugar cookie dough on a work surface until smooth. Roll out the cookie dough to a scant ¼-inch thickness. Cut out as many star shapes as possible, 4 and 5 inch, using cookie cutters. Transfer the shapes to the prepared pans. Insert a lollipop stick about halfway into the cookie dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and sticks to make about 11 cookie pops.
  3. Bake until lightly golden and firm, about 10 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until cooled completely.
  4. Combine the confectioner's sugar and egg white powder in a mixing bowl. Add 6 tablespoons warm water and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Divide the frosting evenly into 3 bowls. Tint one bowl red, one blue, and leave the remaining bowl white. Keep the frosting covered with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
  5. Working on one cookie at a time, spread a thin layer of desired colored frosting to cover the top of the cookie. Arrange the Jelly Belly jelly beans in desired pattern (see photo), close together, on top of the cookie. Transfer the cookie to a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining cookies, frosting and Jelly Belly beans. Allow cookies to dry at least 2 hours.
  6. When ready to serve, fill a small vase or small pot with Styrofoam and then cover with Champagne Bubbles. Press cookie pops into Styrofoam to look like shooting stars.
