hello all,

Do I bake it with the stick in the cookie dough? also will the stich change to darker color if I am suppose too?

TIA

I have baked with the stick in the cookie and no the stick didn't change color. I have also read that you can bake without and attach later with royal icing.

I don't happen to bake mine on a stick, but I know you can find lots of info on this in the Cookie Forum if you have more questions.

I don't bake the stick in because I don't wanna have to make room for the sticks on the baking sheet. I push the sticks into the cookie as soon as they come out of the oven. My cookies are a bit thicker than usual though, probably 3/8" thick. And I don't adhere it with icing either. As long as the cookies are hot, they'll go right in without cracking. As it cools the cookies contract, holding onto the stick.

Yup...you can do it either way! its a personal preference.

I baked mine on the stick and they turned out really good.
