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!
