What you need

• Sugar cookie dough (see our favorite recipe here)
• Flower cookie cutter
• A smaller round cutter or wide piping tip for the center hole. We used a bottle cap.
• Lollipops
• Parchment paper (don't skip it, the candy will weld to anything else)
• A ziplock bag and glass or rolling pin for crushing.

How to make them

Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut your flowers, then use the smaller cutter to punch a hole in the center of each one.

‍

Move the flowers onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.

‍

Crush the lollipops until you have small jagged pieces. Put a couple of pieces in the center of the flowers. Combine colors for a watercolor effect.

‍

‍

Bake until the cookie edges are barely golden and the candy in the middle is fully melted and clear, usually 8-10 minutes.

‍

Pull the tray out and let the cookies cool completely on the pan. Don't touch them while the candy is still warm.

‍

Once cool, peel them off the parchment.
