Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 400 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 200 grams Hard candies (assorted colors)
- 24 pieces Lollipop sticks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter (about 7.5 cm or 3 inches in diameter) to cut out the cookies. Then use a smaller cutter (about 3 cm or 1.25 inches in diameter) to remove the center of each cookie, creating a 'window'.
Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one. Insert a lollipop stick into the base of each cookie, ensuring it is embedded in the dough.
Crush the hard candies into small pieces and fill the 'window' section of each cookie with the candy pieces. Be careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the candy has melted completely.
Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. The melted candy will harden as they cool, forming a beautiful 'stained glass' effect.
Carefully lift the cookies off the parchment paper and serve or package them in clear cellophane bags for a festive presentation.
