Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 350°F.
Step #2 Grease cookie sheets; set aside.
Step #3 Remove cookie dough from packaging as directed on package.
Step #4 Sprinkle top dough with flour to minimize sticking, if needed.
Step #5 Divide dough in half; cover & put in the fridge one half while you're working with the other.
Step #6 Roll dough out to 1/3" thick.
Step #7 Cut out cookies using 3 1/4" to 3 1/2" cookie cutters.
Step #8 Place a lollipop stick on each cookie so that one tip of the stick is imbedded in the cookie.
Step #9 Using a spatula, carefully turn cookies over so that the sticks are in the back; place on cookie sheets.
Step #10 Repeat with other half of the dough.
Step #11 Bake until edges are lightly browned (7-11 mins).
Step #12 Cool on cookie sheets for 2 mins.
Step #13 Let cool completely.
Step #14 Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions.
