Stained glass window cookies

 

 

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup butter or margarine
  • 1 cup white sugar
  •  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  •  2 eggs
  •  3 cups all-purpose flour
  •  2 teaspoons baking powder
  •  1/2 teaspoon salt
  •  1/3 cup milk
  •  8 ounces colored hard candy (about 40 candies)

  

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla and eggs. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture alternately with milk. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide strips and, on a well-buttered baking sheet, form into window frames. Keeping the colors separate, place candy in plastic bags and crush with a meat mallet. Place crushed candies inside window frames. Bake for six minutes, or until candy is just melted. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, until candy is hard. Carefully lift cookies off baking sheet with spatula.
