To celebrate the official beginning of spring, I made a cookie bouquet centerpiece/story time snack (at least I hope it survives as a centerpiece until story time, tonight).

The cookies are quick, and simple to make.

Color the dough for the petals, and flower centers. I added a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the dough, for the brown, flower centers, instead of food coloring, for additional flavor.
Roll the dough into 1/2 inch balls.
Place colored balls around the centers, to form flowers, on a greased cookie sheet. Press them together a little, so they stick to each other.
Add a sucker, or Popsicle stick, pushing it through the dough into the center of the flower. These are also very pretty piled together on a plate, if you don't want to add sticks.
Bake as normal for sugar cookies (350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes).
Remove them from the pan, with a wide spatula, and let them cool completely, before arranging them into a bouquet.
I stood mine in a full sugar dish, covered in plastic wrap.
It's great to be a homeschooler.

You are always way too clever!
I wanted to let you know that my warm Crocs are lined. (And it comes out and is washable!) You can also buy unlined.
So, did it last until dinner?
What a cute idea, I love the cookie flowers!
Ticia - It made it until after dinner, but the children thought they were going to get to eat the sugar, too.
