Cookies on a Stick
1 1/2 stick butter - room temp.
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. vanilla or other flavoring
2 c. flour
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. baking soda
Cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
Roll between plastic wrap and cut with KC cutters (they work the best). Turn one cookie over at a time and lay 8" cookie stick on cookie. Stick should be placed about 1/2 the length of the cookie, so the top half of the cookie won't break off. Take a small piece of dough and gently "message" onto the cookie to cover cookie stick. Do this with remaining cookies/dough. If your cookies are really thick you can press the stick into the middle of the cookie. Place on cookie sheet. Do not overlap sticks. You can only get 4 - 5 cookies per sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 min. Thicker cookies take longer so watch them carefully. Cool completely then remove from baking sheet to cooling rack. Decorate as desired.
