Frosted Cookie Bouquet image

If you're looking for an easy yet impressive cookie bouquet recipe, you've found it! In the spring, I cut these almond paste cookies into flower shapes and insert the pops into a block of foam fitted into a basket or bowl. You can cover the foam with tissue paper or cellophane. Add a bow if you like. Not only do the frosted almond cookies look pretty, they taste good, too. In fact, I make them all year long. -Krissy Fossmeyer, Huntley, Illinois
