METHOD

1. Cut out a flower shape, about 5cm in diameter, from a piece of cardboard and set aside for later use.
2. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugar, egg and vanilla essence together for 2 minutes in a mixing bowl.
3. Sift in the flour and using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. *Chefs Tip: Add a tablespoon or two of water if the dough is too dry.
4. Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface and use your hands to bring the dough together to form a ball.
5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 180C (160C if fan-forced) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
7. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is 1,5cm thick.
8. Place the cardboard flower shape on the cookie dough and using a butter knife, trace around the edges to cut out flower shapes.
9. Place the cookie dough flowers on the baking trays and insert a wooden popsicle stick a third of the way through the side of the cookie to form a handle. Refrigerate trays for 15 minutes. *Chefs Tip: Use short sosatie sticks, if preferred.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden in colour. Cool on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow the chocolate to cool for 3 minutes. *Chefs Tip: Use milk chocolate, if preferred.
12. Dip the base of each Beacon Jelly Tots Original in the melted chocolate and arrange on top of each cookie to create a flower pattern Allow the chocolate to harden, about 30 minutes. *Chefs Tip: Pick each Jelly Tot up with a toothpick for easy dipping.
13. Place the extra Beacon Jelly Tots Original in a few glasses and arrange the flower cookie pops upright inside each to look like a bouquet and ENJOY!
