I found this recipe in allrecipes.com and was originally posted by Laura... Though it's just my 2nd time to bake I was surprised that it turned out great... the cookie alone was delicious! my advise is to find a good hiding spot for them for decoration 'coz they'll be gone in no time... * I used royal icing to decorate.

Roll cookies out approximately 1/4 inch thick and insert cookie sticks at least 1/3 to 1/2 way into cookie.
