Stained Glass Cookies are such a cute and colorful treat, and sometimes I feel they look too pretty so you almost feel bad to bite into them.

Servings10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup levelled maida / all purpose flour
- ½ cup butter at room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence
- ⅛ 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 10 minutes.
- 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 minutes, bake the cookies for the first 9 minutes.
- 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 few minutes.
- Carefully remove the cookies and cool down in wire rack.
- Enjoy Stained Glass Cookies!
Notes
- Chilling the dough – I make sure to chill well. I usually keep it for a while so cookies don’t spread.
- Crushing candies – I always crush just before filling. Don’t crush too early, they turn sticky later.
- Baking time – Bake cookies first without candies, and then add candy later so it doesn’t burn.
- Thickness – I prefer thin and even thickness so roll slightly thin. If too thick, candy may not melt evenly in centre.
- Cooling – Let the cookies cool fully. The centers harden only after cooling. And don’t touch the center immediately since it will be hot.
