Stained Glass Cookies Recipe


Stained Glass Cookies is a dream come true for me…Yes I had been eyeing these cookies for the past 2 years and this year somehow gained confidence and tried it.The hard candies are crushed to fill in the center holes and while baking it spread out giving the cookies a glossy look.

I clicked the cookies to hearts content and loved these clicks too…I couldn’t take my eyes off,aren’t they looking pretty?! 🙂 I used basic cookie dough for this recipe and it came out perfect.

The dough should be firm enough to cut so make sure to refrigerate until firm to cut to get neat shapes.

My Notes:

  • This dough is eggless and keeps well in fridge for atleast 2-3 weeks.
  • You can use this cookie dough recipe as the base for many cookie recipes.
  • I used homemade butter.
  • I prepared the dough before hand and used half of the dough for this cookie and the other half for dry fruit and nut cookie.
  • The cookie may looks soft when taken out but do not be tempted to bake more.
  • The candies will look goey but will become hard after cooling down.
  • You can even bake the hard candies together along with the cookie itself but I some how felt it would be overcooked so kept only 3mins and it was perfectly spread out.
  • Do not stuff more in the holes as it will bubble up while baking and oozes out.Also do not leave holes while spreading the candies.
  • Crush the candies just before you want to use them else it will become sticky and will be tough to spread.
  • Do not bake more after the candies are added, it easily gets burnt and gives a bitter taste to the cookies(I heard this from my friends).

    I think 3 of your cookies are perfect, and one the candies have overflowed, and don't look nice. I think I will try with less filling of candy..
