Print Recipe
Ingredients
Sugar cookie dough
25
hard candies such as Life Savers or Jolly Ranchers
Instructions
Make your favorite sugar cookie recipe.
Here's my favourite
Crush hard candies ( I put candies in heavy duty ziploc bag and pound with meat hammer). You can also used a food grinder.
Line cookie sheet with parchment paper ( must use parchment paper or cookies with stick)
On floured surface roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut out cookies with your favorite cookie cutter shapes, then with smaller cookie cutter shape (ensure it fits inside large shape)
Cut smaller shape inside of larger shape.
Place cookies on cookie sheet.
Fill centre shape with crushed candies being careful not to spill candies onto cookie dough.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Just until edges start to brown. Candies will melt as cookie bakes.
Cool completely before removing from parchment paper.
Add extra decorative touches with Royal Icing if you like!
Notes
To add more decorative touch decorate with Royal Icing.
