Categories     Dessert

Time 3h25m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 rolls (about 1 oz each) ring-shaped hard candies or other fruit-flavored hard candies

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Cover cookie sheet with parchment paper or foil. On lightly floured cloth-covered surface, roll one-third of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Cut shapes from centers of cookies as desired. Place cookies on parchment paper.
  • Place whole or partially crushed pieces of candy in cutouts, depending on size and shape of design, mixing colors as desired. Leave pieces as large as possible because candy melts easily; do not use fine candy "dust." (To crush candy, place in heavy plastic bag and tap lightly with rolling pin.) Place cutouts from centers of cookies on top of candies, if desired.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are very light brown and candy is melted. If candy has not completely spread within cutout design, immediately spread with knife. Cool completely on parchment paper, about 30 minutes. Gently remove cookies to cooling rack.

I've never made stained glass cookies before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out beautifully. I'll definitely be making these again.

I'm not a big fan of stained glass cookies, but these were actually really good. The cookies were soft and chewy, and the stained glass effect was really pretty.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out at all. They were flat and hard and didn't have any stained glass effect.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as stained glass. They were still good, but I was disappointed that they didn't look as festive as I had hoped.
