STAINED GLASS CHRISTMAS COOKIES
From vindee 16 years agoIngredients
- butter – ¾ cup (room temp) shopping list
- Castor Sugar- 1 cup (I grind sugar crystals in my coffee grinder) shopping list
- egg – 1 / beaten shopping list
- flour – 2 ½ cups shopping list
- salt – 1 pinch shopping list
- vanilla essence/extract – 1 tsp shopping list
How to make it
- Beat the butter and sugar till fluffy and light.
- Add the salt + vanilla essence and beat for 30 seconds.
- With a spatula mix in the beaten egg.
- Put in all the flour in one go, and gather together to make a firm dough.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes in wrap.
- Preheat the oven to 190deg C. Keep 4 cookie sheets ready with baking parchment (I use aluminium foil).
- Roll out to ¼ inch thickness and cut with assorted cookie cutters. Place them on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Cut out smaller shapes into the cookies.
- Fill these smaller cut-outs with small amounts of crushed hard-boiled candy. I've used 'poppins' which we get in a roll in different colours. If you wish to hang them, make small holes on top of each cookie with a straw.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, watching closely so that they don’t get too brown. You will see the candy melting and bubbling.
- Remove from oven; spread the candy around with a wodden pick if the cavity is not filled completely. Let the cookies lay on the sheet for a minute. Carefully remove to racks & cool. I usually cut around the foil on each cookie, & peel it off once the cookie is cool. These cookies are quite fragile when hot/warm.
- This recipe makes approximately 4 dozen 3" cookies.
