Confetti Cookies

This is what my three year old treated to her classmates this week, together with the little crocheted owls: confetti cookies! The idea for the cookies I found at Repeat Crafter Me.

This is how you make them:

What you need:

* Cookie dough (look on the internet for a recipe, there are plenty)

* Food coloring or cocoa

* Lolliepop pieces ( put the lollipops in a little bag and break them with a hammer)

*Icing (again, look on the internet for a recipe)

* Sugar confetti

After making the cookie dough cut the cookies: round cookies, which I made with a simple glass, cookies with a cut out 3 (made with the same glass and a 3 cookie cutter) and rings (made with the same glass and a smaller glass). 

For the rings you can use some food coloring or cocoa, to give them a contrasting color. To do this knead some coloring through the dough. I used cocoa powder.

Put all cookies on a baking sheet and fill the 3’s with the little pieces of lollipops. The lolliepop pieces will melt in the oven and fill the whole three.

After baking the cookies should be looking like this:

Smear  the icing on the cookie rings and attach on the round cookies, like this:

The icing is used as glue, to stick the different cookies together.

Now fill the cookies with the sugar confetti.

Close the cookies by smearing icing on the ring and putting on the cookie with the cut out 3. 

That’s it!

And this is how it looks when cookies and owls are wrapped up in transparent foil:
