Hello my creative bakers, Chef James here! These Easy Stained Glass Cookies glow like edible ornaments — crisp, buttery, and full of playful color.

  • Total Time: 30 mins
  • Yield: 24 cookies

Ingredients

Unsalted butter (softened)

Sugar

Egg

Vanilla extract

All-purpose flour

Salt

Jolly Rancher candies (or natural hard candies)

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add egg and vanilla.

2. Whisk flour and salt, then add to butter mix gradually.

3. Chill dough 30–60 mins. Roll and cut shapes with cookie cutters.

4. Use a smaller cutter to make window holes. Fill with crushed candies.

5. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 8–10 minutes until candies melt.

6. Cool completely on tray until “glass” centers harden.

Notes

✔ Crush candies finely for smooth melting.

✔ Line trays with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

✔ Let cookies cool fully for glass effect.

✔ Dough can be frozen in advance.
