I don’t normally buy specific ingredients for Cookie Thursday is a Thing. But since the October theme is ‘This is Halloween’ and I am doing candy in cookies, I had to buy poprocks.
My original idea was to do a simple sugar cookie, with vanilla frosting and poprocks pressed into the frosting. I figure that would give me the best possibility of having poprocks survive. Because I’ve used poprocks before, during a red, white and blue themed July month two years ago. Into frosting. And it was a fail then. Well, not a fail, just not as intended.
Instead, I put the pop into the cookie dough. I specifically used a dryer cookie dough for this.
Turns out poprocks don’t like ANY liquid, no matter how dry the cookie.
Well, at least they are pretty.
These are not poprocks branded poprocks. These are Kool-Aid brand poprocks that I got at the dollar store.
I should mention the poprocks were a variety pack; there were strawberry, lemon, blueberry, and purple (I am not sure what this is).
They do make a pretty cookie.
And the Kool-Aid flavoring is interesting in a plain cookie.
My quest to have poprocks in a cookie is not over. I just have to go back to the drawing board, eh, I have to go back to the kitchen island.
