Stained Glass Cookies are sure to impress people of all ages! These crisp buttery cookies are cut into festive shapes and filled with hard candies, then they're baked and the candy melts into an even layer for a beautiful stained glass effect.
A delicious cookie to add to the cookie tray this year, and save a few for the Christmas tree or window!
Stained Glass Cookies
I made several batches of these over the Thanksgiving holiday and I'd have to say I don't think I've ever gotten so many ooh's and ahh's.
My kids, my nieces and nephews, the neighborhood kids and even the kids at school thought these were the coolest cookies they'd ever seen. And believe it or not they really aren't difficult to make.
You simply cut a larger star (or other shape) from the cookie dough transfer it to a baking sheet, cut the same smaller shape then fill that with crushed Jolly Ranchers. Bake them and the candies melt into an even layer and leave you with a such fun yet striking cookie.
I've been wanting to try these cookies for years and I'm so glad I finally did! This year I've actually been on a Jolly Rancher kick (you can find hidden stashes in my purse and pantry) so maybe that's what finally inspired me to make them.
Nostalgic childhood candy meets classic shortbread style cookie for a treat everyone will love!
