Cut-Out Cookies in a Flower Pot

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cookie Recipes. (Cut-Out Cookies in a Flower Pot). I received this recipe at a Cake and Candy store when I signed up for a class. We made fall leaves and put them in a clay pot - they looked great! For best flavor results use pure Mexican vanilla the creme de la creme of vanillas. You will need about 6 dozen dowels, cut to approximately 6 inches (with some longer and some shorter) for cookie sticks.
