Chef's Note
Christmas is a holiday for children. Have fun making these delightful Stained Glass Cookies with your kids. Place a ribbon through them so you can hang them on your Christmas tree... just don't be surprised if your decorations disappear!
Fun Idea
To make these cookies into decorations, use a drinking straw to poke a hold in the top of each cookie cutout. Bake and cool as directed. Decorate as desired and thread a piece of ribbon through the hole to use for hanging.
Cooking Know-How
Do not use mint flavoured Lifesavers for these cookies. They do not melt the same way the candy flavours do.
Ingredients
Ingredients for 42 cookies
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 egg
- 1 Tsp. vanilla
- 3 cups flour
- 1 Tsp. Magic Baking Powder
- 1/2 Tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 Tsp. salt
- 5 rolls (25 g each) Life Savers Candies, any colour
Method
- Beat butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix well. Cover. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Cut into desired shapes with 2-1/2- to 3-inch floured cookie cutters. Trace smaller version of cookie shape on dough, leaving 1/2- to 3/4-inch border of dough. Cut out and remove dough from centre of each shape; set aside.
- Place cutouts on foil-lined baking sheets. Shape removed dough centres into ball; re-roll to make additional cutouts.
- Crush each colour of candy separately between 2 layers of wax paper with mallet; spoon into centres of cutouts.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until candy is melted and cookies are lightly browned. Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the aluminum foil so that they'll come off easily.
