Cookie Pops

Cookie Pop Box by BRP Box Shop





BRP Box Shop has done it again!
They have created this really cute box to transport cake pops.

But since we're all about COOKIES.......let's make some cookie pops to put in this box.

I personally don't like to make cookie pops (actually putting the stick in the cookie).
So instead.....I make fake ones.


First make some adorable cookies. ;)


Next.....use clear mailing tape to attach cookie sticks onto treat bags.

Insert the cookie into the bag.....making sure the top of the cookie goes in first.
Using a clothes pin, gather the bottom of the treat bag together.
Tie a ribbon around the stick/bag and make a bow.


And there you have it......lots of "cookie pops".


BRP's new box holds 18 pops.
I tried to fill the box with 18 small cookie pops.
I think it is just a bit TOO full. ;)

I'd recommend using every other hole in the box to space them out a bit more.
(That means you could fit 9 or 10 pops in the box.)



I absolutely love how this box displays the pops so beautifully. :)




Go check out BRP's incredible selection of cookie boxes.

You'll be glad you did. :)


At last.....Cookie Boxes!

Simplified Cookies on Sticks (Tutorial)



Who said that cookies on sticks for a cookie bouquet had to be difficult?




When I first started doing cookies seriously,
I'd see these tutorials for cookie "pops" or cookies on a stick.
I'd cringe at all the extra details that had to be done in order to make cookie bouquets.
And when I tried it........UGH. First Cookie Bouquet

First of all, every cookie must be planned on a stick from dough to finish.
Then you have to get those sticks implanted in the cookie shape. (Yikes!)
During baking, you can only fit a few on the pan at a time.
And THEN......you have try to decorate the cookie with a stick in the way!

After all that, I decided cookie bouquets were NOT for me. ;)

But then I read where you could just tape the stick on the back of the cookie bag.
Genius!!!!!
Suddenly, cookie "pops" seemed reasonable.
It opened up a whole new world. You don't have to plan ahead.
ANY decorated cookie can be put on a stick.
Everything about the actually decorating is the same as always.
The only difference is how you package it.

So here you go......
a very easy way to put cookies on sticks.

SIMPLIFIED COOKIES ON STICKS (Tutorial)
For making cookie "pops" you will need:
  • decorated cookies
  • treat bags
  • bamboo skewers
  • clear shipping/packing tape
  • clothes pin
  • ribbon
1. Place decorated cookie in bag so "bottom of bag" is on top.
2. Lay stick across back of cookie.
3. Cover top of stick with clear shipping/packing tape.
4. Scrunch bag around bottom of cookie and hold with clothes pin.
Add ribbon and tie bow.

Some notes about cookies on sticks:
  •  You can also use cookie/sucker pop sticks, but I found that the bamboo skewers are much more versatile. They are longer (so you can cut them to size) and they are much cheaper than the specialty sticks. I bought mine in a huge pack at Walmart. (And since the sticks don't actually touch the cookie, you don't have to worry about splintering.)
  • Heavier cookies require more reinforcement. You may need to add additional tape or even use two sticks.
  • If you want to get "fancy" for flower cookies on sticks, you can color the sticks green.
 Add coloring gel to water and let the sticks soak for a few hours.

Floating sticks.......

Please excuse this lame BLURRY photo.
Since my sticks wanted to float, I placed some heavy
kitchen utensils on top to keep them submerged.
 I only let mine soak for about 5 hrs. They were not extremely green.
Maybe additional soak time or additional color
would increase the intensity of the green on the sticks.

Once you've got your flowers on sticks,
you can put them in a vase....

or in a box for a bouquet in a box.
(This is a trial box from BRP Box Shop that I love!
Hopefully they will be available soon.)

This month's theme in the Show Me Your COOKIE is Roses.

I love rose buds......so that's predominantly what I did.

But I really love how these open roses turned out as well.


And I especially love how they turned out
on a stick.....in a box.

And expect a review on BRP Cookie Boxes!
