For a few years I have been seeing these Stained Glass Holiday Cookies. Ground hard candies are inserted into the cookies cutouts for a stained glass effect. I used Jolly Ranchers. The recipe called for red and green candies, but I took artistic licensee and used the assorted colors. I love the zesty lemon bite to these buttery cookies. My only problem with them is sometimes the candy oozed out of the lines. But no biggie. Once hardened its like two treats in one, the cookie and the candy. Be creative with this. I tried to mix two colors but they all ran together.
You can find the recipe here.

I was going to make stained glass cookies too! Not sure I'm going to make it to Day 12 or not. Pooped out tired.
I am lacking the patience to even attempt this. Beautiful!!
Nice job--those look really neat!

These turned out very nicely! I've always been a big chicken when it comes to stained glass cookies. I love the shape of these.
