Stained Glass Window Cookies


Submitted By: Carolyn Devers

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 21/2 cups flour
  • Crushed hard candies, sorted by colors

Instructions


In a large bowl, beat butter or margarine with a hand mixer until softened. Then add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla, then flour a little at a time until all is mixed. Roll dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and chill for one hour. Roll out chilled dough on a slightly floured surface. Use a lightly floured cookie cutter to cut shapes and a small round cookie cutter to make the holes. Place the shapes on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Add about 1/2 teaspoon of crushed candy to the hole. Bake cookies at 375° for eight minutes.
Cool on foil for about 10 minutes. Peel off foil before serving.
