Cookies with a candy lollipop type center. Note: You can use your own quick bake cookie recipe. Ingredients:
1/3 cup vegetable shortening |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg |
3 cups flour (mixed with 1/2 tsp baking soda) |
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) |
2/3 cup honey |
lollipops or hard candies, several colors, crushed |
12 craft sticks |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Foil and line cookie sheets.
3. Measure first 6 ingredients into the bowl.
4. Mix until a soft dough is formed.
5. Divide dough into 12 pieces.
6. Roll the dough between hands making snake shapes about 1/4- inch thick.
7. Place rope on prepared cookie sheet and form into a design.
8. NOTE: Be sure dough ends are completely pinched together as these will form the outline of the stained glass picture.
9. You can also make flattened cookie balls and use a cookie cutter to insert a shape.
10. Sprinkle the crushed candies inside the dough outlines, filling the spaces completely and heaping slightly.
11. Carefully insert a craft stick into cookie, forming a lollipop. .
12. You can also avoid the stick, but I don't recommend it. Once you get past the cookie, its all sticky candy from there.
13. Bake in oven for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully. Remove cookie sheets from oven and place on counter to cool.
14. When cooled, gently peel off foil from each cookie pop. You will have created a beautiful created a stained glass effect!
15. Wrap each cookie pop in plastic wrap.
16. For gift giving, tie with a colorful ribbon.
17. These cookies can easily be made by children (with careful supervision).
