2 teaspoons baking powder

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with and electric mixer. Beat an egg and vanilla.

Do not chill dough. Pinch off small amount of dough, make twelve to eighteen 1/4" balls. Place balls, 3 inches apart, on ungreased cookie sheets. Each ball will be used as a base to support sunflower cookie stick. Press lollipop stick into dough; set aside. Divide remaining dough into two balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle approximately 12 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Cut dough, dipping flour cutters in flour before each use. Place cookie over stick and press lightly. Add chocolate chips for center. Bake on middle rack of oven 6 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet. Carefully remove cookies with spatula to cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before picking up by sticks.
