Ingredients

  • 1 cup levelled maida / all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • few colored hard candies

Instructions

  • Measure and take butter in a mixing bowl, add powdered sugar to it.
  • Whisk it well, I used my hand whisk, you can use electric mixer too. Whisk it until creamy and fluffy.
  • Now add vanilla essence and salt. Finally add in the flour.
  • Mix with a spatula to form a dough.
  • Now use your hands to roll into a ball, cling wrap it and refrigerate it.
  • I used only half of the dough for this cookie.
  • Take your cookie cutters, you need a bigger one and a smaller one like this.
  • Roll out the dough slightly thin.
  • Cut out using the cookie cutters.
  • Remove the smaller flower. Now arrange it in a baking tray with parchment paper. Take a stick or toothpick.
  • While you do this, preheat oven at 180 deg C for 10mins.
  • Prick holes a the top of each cookies, incase you want to hang these cookies for decoration. Slice the log.
  • Keep the baking temperature for 12 mins, bake the cookies for 9 mins.
  • Take your candies, crush each color separately and keep it ready.
  • Now fill the holes with crushed candies, bake for the remaining 3 mins until it bubbles up. Let it cool down for 10mins.
  • Carefully remove the cookies and cool down in wire rack.
  • Enjoy Stained Glass Cookies!

Notes

  • This dough is eggless and keeps well in fridge for at least 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 gooey 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).
