Can lollipops sticks be put in oven to use with cookies?

It's not recommended to put lollipop sticks in the oven to use with cookies. Here's why:

* Fire Hazard: Lollipop sticks are often made of wood or plastic, both of which are flammable. Putting them in a hot oven could cause them to ignite.

* Melting: Even if they don't catch fire, the heat of the oven could melt or deform the sticks, making them unusable.

* Taste and Safety: The heat could release harmful chemicals from the sticks, contaminating your cookies and making them unsafe to eat.

Instead of using lollipop sticks in the oven, consider these safer options:

* Cookie cutters: Use cookie cutters to shape your dough before baking.

* Piping bags: Pipe the cookie dough onto a baking sheet in desired shapes.

* Wooden skewers: You could use wooden skewers to create cookie shapes *after* baking, but be careful as they can be fragile when hot.

Remember, always prioritize safety when baking.
