I'm making a couple of cookie bouqets for a baby shower soon; how do i attach the cookie stick? Should i bake in with the cookie or could i use royal icing to attach it after the cookie is decorated? Thanks for helping!

Inserting Cookie sticks:
I freeze (not rock solid) my dough before baking. This helps to prevent The Cookies from spreading too much. I also insert the cookie sticks while the dough is still frozen. If the sticks penetrate the back of the cookie. Simply take a piece of dough and patch it. Use your finger to smooth it out a bit.

I attach my sticks to the back of the cookies with royal icing that has a little extra meringue powder to make it more like glue. That's worked well for me. I just did 23 Valentine's day cookie bouquets for my friend's son's class and they held up perfectly! Good luck!!! icon_biggrin.gif
