Funfetti Lolly Cookies

This coming weekend (Sunday, 9th August), Singapore will be celebrating our 50th year of Independence. A Golden Jubilee! 

To join in the festivities, I decided to make some delectable, fun looking lolly cookies which looked like they are filled with confetti. 

I used a basic cut out cookie dough and mixed in some hundreds and thousands to make them looked so colorful and fun. The cookie smells buttery, tasted not too sweet and have a tender mouth feel. 

There are so much activities to join in during the 2 days that lead up to the celebrations. Have you planned yours?

• Divide the dough into two portion and work with one portion at a time.
• Roll one portion between baking paper to a thickness of 0.5mm thick and using a round cookie cutter cut our desired shapes.
• Place cut out cookies on paper lolly stickers or wooden skewers on baking sheets lined with baking paper and bake for 7 - 9 minutes.
• Let cookies cool on baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

From the pictures, you can see that I have used the same dough to cut out some alphabet cookies too.
