Lydia and I decided to make cookie pops for Sunday School classes last week.  This was an easy project we could both do.  She loved dipping the sticks into the chocolate!

2 tablespoons shortening, divided
1 package (16 ounces) double-stuffed Oreo cookies
32 wooden Popsicle or craft sticks
Optional Decorating ideas 1 cup (6 ounces)Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, crushed candy canes, crushed candy, chopped nuts

Directions

Appease crying child with Popsicle sticks. . . or two. . . nope not working!

In a microwave, melt vanilla chips and 1 tablespoon shortening.
Twist apart sandwich cookies. Dip the end of each Popsicle stick into melted chips; place on a cookie half and top with another half.

Place cookies on a waxed paper-lined baking sheets; freeze for 15 minutes.

Reheat white chocolate mixture again if necessary; dip frozen cookies into mixture until completely covered; allow excess to drip off.  Dip in crushed candy or nuts and return to the baking sheet; freeze 30 minutes longer or until set.
