Directions

1 Heat oven to 350° F. Grease or spray 24 miniature muffin cups. In medium bowl, stir or knead cookie dough and flour until well blended.
2 Roll dough into 24 (1 1/4-inch) balls; roll in colored sugar. Press 1 ball into bottom and up side of each muffin cup.
3 Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until set and edges are light golden brown. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack.
4 Add coconut to a 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag. Add 3 to 4 drops food color and shake until well blended. It may be necessary to add 1 to 2 teaspoons water to help disperse the color evenly or additional food color until desired color is reached.
5 Frost top of each cookie. Decorate with colored coconut and jelly beans. Tie a small ribbon bow on 5-inch piece of pipe cleaner; insert into each basket for handle.

Is anyone else having a problem w/ the edges of the cookies turning too brown and the middle not cooking all the way? I've reduced the cooking temp and tried little foil edge covers but I'm not having alot of luck. I've done both the mini and regular size cups. I FINALLY got it to come out the correct shape but it is getting too brown, it gets too crispy when cooled... HELP.

Doris B SusieQ5155 U hit the nail right on the head with your comments. Target has Warheads Sour twists perfect for the handle for the basket. My Daughter is a dancer at the Rio in Vegas. I am making them for her to take in Easter Sunday. If a person has to work on Easter they should have a treat and these cookies will be a big hit.
