I just made some of these, but the lolly part stuck to the baking paper? I used it wax side up, do I need to grease/spray it as well? Apart from that they looked awesome.

Umm. Are you sure you used baking paper? It is the same on both sides.

The clue is wax side up.That's waxed paper, not baking paper.

This comes from Alison Holst's Good Food
Ingredients
•225g Butter, softened •275g Sugar •½ t Baking Soda •¼ cup Water •500g Flour •Boiled Sweets, finely crushed, e.g. lifesavers or clear lollipops Method
1.Cream the butter and sugar 2.Dissolve baking soda in water. Add to creamed mixture. 3.Add flour to mixture. 4.Roll dough out thinly. Cut with large cutter and cut centres out with small cutter. Avoid having too thin a border as these break easily. 5.Place cut-outs on baking paper on a tray. Bake 180°C for about four minutes. 6.Remove from oven and add a generous amount of crushed sweets to centres. Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes until sugar melts and bubbles; and the biscuit is lightly browned. 7.Remove and let centre harden before removing from tray. 8.Store immediately in air-tight container or centres will become soft and sticky.

Did it with baking paper not waxed paper this time and they worked well. I did what someone had done here on a previous thread. Pre-rolled sweet short pastry, lolly in hole in middle, bake at 180 for approx 10mins (until lolly is melted and pastry just cooked). My four year old did them for gifts for her grandparents, they are now all wrapped in clear cellophane, curling ribbon and look great. Thanks for everyone's help.

I wish you could hang these for decorations but your can't because the lolly part goes all sticky and weeps.
