Stained Glass Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • 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.
