Here’s How To Make Flower Cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 1 roll (18 oz.) refrigerated cookie dough
• 1 box icing sugar
• 2 tablespoons egg white powder
• 6 1/2 tablespoons water
• Yellow, orange and pink food colouring
• 1/3 cup M&M’S or similar candy 
• 6 pieces STARBURST or similar Fruit Chews
• 6 pieces of chocolate
• 2 cookie sheet pans
• 6 resealable plastic bags
• 18 Cellophane bags
• ribbon
• flower cookie cutter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or foil.
2. Knead the flour and the grated lemon zest into the cookie dough. Roll it out to a 1/4-inch thickness and using the cookie cutter, cut out 18 cookies, re-rolling the scraps.
3. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven, transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.
4. Meanwhile, beat the icing sugar, egg white powder and water until fluffy. Divide the frosting into 3 small bowls. Tint one yellow, one orange and one pink, using your food colouring. Frost 6 cookies of each color. Decorate the centers with assorted candies & chocolates. Set the cookies aside for the frosting to dry.
5. Once dried, place your cookies in cellophane bags, tie each bag with a ribbon & they’re ready to serve.
