Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl stir together cookie dough and flour until combined (knead dough with hands, if necessary to combine).

Shape dough into 40 about 1-inch balls. Flatten balls into 1 3/4-inch rounds. Roll in colored sugar to coat. Place rounds 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using a sharp knife, cut six 1/2-inch slits from the edges toward the center of each round to form flower petals.

Bake for 7 to 8 minutes or until centers are set and edges just start to brown. Immediately press a gumdrop into the center of each cookie. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool.

To Store: Layer cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
