Stained Glass Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- hard candy (like Jolly Ranchers or Life Savers), crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl with a mixer, cream together butter and powdered sugar. Mix in egg and vanilla. Blend in flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Roll out on a floured surface and cut with cookie cutter; use smaller cookie cutter to make the stained-glass cut out. Place on parchment lined baking sheet. Fill cut-out with crushed hard candy. Bake at 400° for 7–9 minutes, until cookies are golden but tops are not browned yet. Cool completely on sheet pan before removing.
