In making the "Serving Mom Breakfast in Bed" cookies,
it only seemed fitting to make some flower cookies to put in a vase for the place setting.
I've not been one to like making real "cookie pops" (cookies on a stick).
Instead, I've always made "fake cookie pops instead.
But for this occasion, I chose to make the real deal.
Rather than bake the sticks in the cookies,
indent the side of the cookie with the end of the stick so you can "glue them together" later.

Once the cookies are baked, you can decorate the cookies without having the stick attached.
(Trust me.....the stick can really get in the way!)
After the cookies have dried overnight, you can add a bit of glaze to the end of the stick and
and push it up into the hole made prior to baking to glue the stick to the cookie.
Notice I added some extra glaze to the back of the cookie to ensure the stick stayed in place.
