Instructions

Roll out to 1/4-in. thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Cut with a tulip cookie cutter.
Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets with a craft stick under each cookie about 1-1/2-in. from top of flower.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a bowl, cream butter, sugar, milk and extracts until fluffy.
Place 1-3/4 cups frosting in a small bowl; tint green. Frost cupcakes. Divide remaining frosting among three small bowls; tint one yellow, one blue and one pink. Frost cookies; decorate as desired.
Place coconut in a bag; add green food coloring.
Sprinkle over cupcake. Insert a tulip into the center of each.
Serve remaining cookies alongside cupcakes.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Cookies can be paired with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 57 dollars per bottle.
Perrier-Jouet Grand Brut
The striking freshness and vivacity of the floral and fruity fragrances (yellow fruits and fresh fruits) take root, before giving way to subtle notes of vanilla and butter, lending the wine a fruity and consistent character. The notes of cherry plum, lemon and bergamot orange emerge first, then make way for the flowers of fruit trees, such as lime and honeysuckle. These are followed by notes of butter, madeleine cakes and vanilla sugar. Lingering notes of grapefruit, white peaches, green pears, apple trees and green hazelnuts round off the taste.
