Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large egg
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Milk (if needed)
- 12 pieces Lollipop sticks (oven-safe)
- as needed Royal icing, sprinkles, or decorations (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough starts to come together. If the dough is too crumbly, mix in 1-2 tablespoons of milk to achieve a workable consistency.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly to form a thick disk (around 1/2 inch thick).
Gently insert an oven-safe lollipop stick about halfway into each disk's center, ensuring the dough surrounds the stick securely.
Place the cookie disks onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorate the cookies with royal icing, sprinkles, or any desired toppings once they are fully cooled.
Serve and enjoy your cookies on a stick, or package them individually as fun gifts or party favors!
