FROSTED COOKIE BOUQUET
If you're looking for an easy yet impressive cookie bouquet recipe, you've found it! In the spring, I cut these almond paste cookies into flower shapes and insert the pops into a block of foam fitted into a basket or bowl. You can cover the foam with tissue paper or cellophane. Add a bow if you like. Not only do the frosted almond cookies look pretty, they taste good, too. In fact, I make them all year long. -Krissy Fossmeyer, Huntley, Illinois

COOKIE BOUQUET COOKIES
I found this from someone else online, and fell in love with it. These are exactly like the cookies I have ordered from Cookie Bouquet. The lemon is what really does it. Make sure to use high-quality, super-fine granulated sugar, as this combined with the powdered sugar gives that melt-in-your-mouth feel. My husband and I enjoy decorating them together.

COOKIE BOUQUET
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar cookie dough with the cherry extract and 1/2 to 1 cup flour to make a very firm cookie dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick. It has to be very thick for the lollipop sticks to stay in once baked.
- Cut out flower shapes and insert lollipop sticks. You should get about 8 cookies, depending on the size of your cutter. Bake according to package directions (they will probably need a little longer as they will be MUCH thicker). Cool completely.
- Decorate with icings. Let the icing dry overnight.
- Place the foam in a basket or large bowl. Insert the cookies into the foam and decorate the top of the foam with Easter grass or tissue paper.
