Fabulous Friday Fixins





Well here we are at the end of the week again. As you can tell, I dont believe much in dieting. Every day alive is a gift to be cherished and enjoyed. You're gonna enjoy this one. Yes, I am sure you can adjust it to some low cal version; but you've earned all these calories; so have at em, you deserve a break today.

1 cup white sugar
1 egg

dozen lollipop sticks

In a bowl cream butter, cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat until smooth In a medium bowl
combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture. Stir till soft dough forms. Divide
dough into fourths. Tint each with a different food color.


Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working with each color, shape dough into 3/4
inch balls. For each cookie place 1 pink, 1 green, 1 blue and 1 orange ball together to make large rainbow colored
ball. Shape into a 12 inch long roll (like a snake); starting at one end, coil roll to make a 3/4 inch round cookie.

Cool and store in an airtight container. And there you have it. Give it a shot!
