Lay on ungreased sheet. Take a fork dipped in sugar and flatten green to make leaf. Space leaves four to a row, making 3 rows of leaves. DO ALL LEAVES FIRST. Then with press filled with red dough, drop out red flower at the bottom of the leaf. With toothpick, indent center of flower and put silver dragee in center. Bake at 325F for 10 minutes.
