Stained Glass Sugar Cookies

These Stained Glass Sugar Cookies are very pretty! They were so fun to make and fun to give to my mom as a treat. She loved them!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter flavor Crisco

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 Tablespoon real vanilla

5 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking soda

2 teaspoons salt

Jolly Rancher Sticks in the colors you want for the center of your flowers

Directions:

1. Mix Crisco, butter, and sugar with an electric mixer.

2. Add eggs and vanilla. Blend well.

3. Add baking soda and salt. Then, add flour a cup at a time. Mixing to incorporate.

4. Place dough in refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.

5. Roll out dough on the cookie sheet (sprayed with cooking spray) and cut out flowers. Remove excess dough around flower. Use a small circle to cut out center. I used my cupcake center removal tool. It worked very well. Use a toothpick to remove center.

6. Place Jolly Rancher sticks in a Ninja-one color at a time. Blend Jolly Ranchers into a powder.

7. Carefully fill each center of the cut out cookies with the Jolly Rancher powder. Make sure all of the center is filled with the powder.

8. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.

9. Let Cookies cool on pan for two to three minutes. Carefully remove from pan with a metal spatula.

Enjoy!
