Ingredients
- 15 servings sugar cookie dough, pre-made or store-bought
- 15 rock candies, various colors, crushed
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line a cookie tray with parchment paper.
Step 3 -Roll out the cookie dough so it is 1/2-inch-thick.
Step 4 -Use large cookie cutters to cut the dough into shapes, such as stars, circles, or Christmas trees. If you have excess dough, you can re-roll it out and cut it to make sure none of it goes to waste.
Step 5 -Use smaller cookie cutters of the same shapes to cut out the center of the shaped cookies. You may discard this piece or bake it as an extra treat.
Step 6 -Place the large, hollow cookie on the prepared cookie tray.
Step 7 -Add some of the crushed rock candy to the center of each cookie, using a toothpick to spread it out evenly throughout the center and only filling each cookie about halfway to prevent overflows.
Step 8 -Bake the cookies until the candy in the center is fully melted and the cookies are golden-brown on the edges.
Step 9 -Let the cookies cool completely before removing them from the tray.
Step 10 -Serve!
