Directions
-
Step one
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Step two
Blend butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla together in large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well blended, about a minute. In a medium bowl, stir together cake mix and flour. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat on low speed until a soft dough forms.
-
Step three
Roll out 24 teaspoon sized portion dough balls and set aside for flower centers. With remaining dough, add food coloring to get your desired shade for the flower petals.
-
Step four
Place the uncolored dough balls 4 inches apart from each other on parchment lined baking sheets. Roll out teaspoon sized portion balls from the colored dough and arrange 5 dough balls around each center. The petals should touch the center, but do not need to touch each other as they will spread during baking.
-
Step five
Freeze the flowers on baking sheet for 30 minutes prior to baking
-
Step six
Bake cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, just until centers are set, and edges are lightly browned.
-
Step seven
Let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Step eight
To the center of each flower spread a small amount of frosting and top with a PEEPS® Party Cake Flavored Chick. Serve and enjoy!
