Description

Melted candies surrounded by dough to resemble stained glass windows.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup molasses
⅓ cup water
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
5 ¾ ounces sourball hard candies

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and molasses until smooth. Add water. Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture; blend well.
2. Wrap dough in plastic and chill for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Cut out paper stars, bells, hearts, or other holiday motifs. Trace shapes onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Place foil on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.
5. Roll pieces of dough into ropes about 1/4-inch wide. Outline the foil designs with ropes of dough. Press ends lightly together.
6. Separate candies by color. In a blender or food processor, coarsely crush candies. Fill in dough outlines with the desired color candies.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 4 to 5 minutes or until cookie is set and candy melts. Transfer cookies and foil to a cooling rack and cool completely before removing foil.
