Stained Glass Window Cookies Recipe

  • 2/3 cup butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 40 fruit flavored hard candies
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Stir in vanilla and eggs.
  3. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture alternately with milk.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide strips and, on a well-buttered baking sheet, form into window frames.
  5. Keeping the colors separate, place candy in plastic bags and crush with a meat mallet. Place crushed candies inside window frames.
  6. Bake for six minutes, or until candy is just melted. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes, until candy is hard. Carefully lift cookies off baking sheet with spatula.
