Spice Drop Cookies

I have been searching the Internet, cookbooks & my brain for easy & clever food to serve at Emma's Celebrate Spring Tea Party. While I was wandering the cookie aisles at my local grocery store, I came across flower shaped butter cookies and an idea was born!
The cookies are pretty and flavorful on their own, but not very colorful. I bought a bag of spice drops and inserted one spice drop into the center of each cookie. The results are just too cute! For under $3.00 and about 10 minutes of my time, I created bright & yummy cookies to serve at the party.

Originally, I thought about making stained glass sugar cookies cut out with a flower cookie cutter. I was going to cut out the center of the cookie with a mini circle cutter and bake them with crushed pastel life savers (available in the Easter section). But then I thought, why not make this as easy as possible??!!

More than half the guests are 5 years old and younger & I'm sure it won't matter to them if I baked the cookies from scratch or simply assembled them. I do plan on making several homemade goodies and this is just one less thing to worry about!
