Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup honey

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 packages fruit-flavored hard candy rings, any flavor - crushed

Directions

Beat together butter, sugar, honey, eggs and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy.

Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside.

Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness.

Cut dough into desired shapes with 2 1/2 to 3-inch floured cookie cutters.

The trick:

Trace a smaller version of cookie shape on dough leaving a 1/2-inch border of dough.

Cut out and remove dough from center of cookies; set aside.

Place cookies on foiled baking sheet.

Repeat with reserved dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary.

Crush each color of candy separately in a plastic sandwich bag, using a mallet.

Spoon crushed candy inside centers of cookies, arranging different colors side-by-side.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until candy is melted and cookies are lightly browned.

Cool cookies completely before removing from foil.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

I'm not going to make these. I'm making my friend, Vicious, make them! Then I will get to eat and enjoy them, but not have to do the work. Of course, he'll probably cover my kitchen with flour, but it will be worth it.
