I'm not a big fan of hard candy, so I used sugar crystals instead. They worked just as well and the cookies still looked beautiful.

These cookies were a bit too difficult to make for me. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I love the idea of using hard candy to create the stained glass effect. It's so clever and makes the cookies look so elegant.

These cookies were a huge hit at my Valentine's Day party! They're so pretty and festive, and they taste delicious too. I used a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but you could use any shape you like.
