Looking for some cookies to make with your kids over the holiday break? These funky and festive flowerpot cookies are adorable and a great little project to keep your kids busy. They make a great addition to a holiday cookie platter or a fun treat for any time of year.
My friend Anne created these cookies and shared them at a cookie exchange party I attended. I took a few photos afterward of my cookies alongside my snowman. You could create your own little winter scene with them. They remind me of something you’d see in Dr. Suess’s Whoville. Let’s just pretend the look of surprise on the snowman’s face is because he’s in Whoville where flowers grow in the winter. I actually have some Lori Mitchell Elves that would have been great to style with my cookies, but unfortunately it’s too late to restyle them.
I also think they would be fun to make for a candy party like this one my friend Mary had for her daughter. The possibilities are endless. Anne shared with me the steps she took to create them.
She used this recipe to create the pots. I have made these cookies before and they are very easy to make. If you want to save even more time use a peanut butter cookie mix like Betty Crocker’s. If you have peanut allergies you can also use a sugar cookie mix for the base of the pots and put a chocolate kiss in the center.
What you will need to make these cookies besides what is in the pot recipe is mini candy canes, Haribo Licorice wheels, and Betty Crocker decorating icing. Anne found the Haribo wheels at Price Chopper and Hy-Vee.

- Mini Candy Cans
- Decorator Icing
- Here's how to assemble the flower cookies:
- After you have put the cookies in the oven,while cookies are baking assemble the flowers.
- Lay the licorice wheels out on waxed paper
- Squirt some icing on the wheels, and stick candy canes onto wheels, using the icing as glue.
- Let them dry, this could take a while.
- Once cookies are out of the oven sprinkle with some colored sugar while chocolate is still soft.
- Let cookies cool about 5-10 minutes then remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack
- Once cookies are cooled completely, check the flowers, if they are set, stick them in center of cookie.
I hope you enjoy these fun treats!
I remember when Anne brought these. Super cute and yummy!
