Cookie Lollipops

[girlsyearapart]

Hi I want to make cookie lollipops for my nephew's birthday party on Saturday. I have a foolproof choc chip cookie recipe but want to know what stage you put the sticks in?
Do you need to soak them etc?
Also want to know if you put Smarties in instead of choc chips will that make any difference to cooking times?

Hi I saw a recipe for shortbread lollipops the other day and you had to put sticks in prior to cooking. Don't remeber about soaking (but I don't think you do).

I've put smarties in cookies before now and not altered the cooking time.

Hope that helps.
