directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Foil and line cookie sheets.
  • Measure first 6 ingredients into the bowl.
  • Mix until a soft dough is formed.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces.
  • Roll the dough between hands making snake shapes about 1/4- inch thick.
  • Place rope on prepared cookie sheet and form into a design.
  • NOTE: Be sure dough ends are completely pinched together as these will form the outline of the stained glass picture.
  • You can also make flattened cookie balls and use a cookie cutter to insert a shape.
  • Sprinkle the crushed candies inside the dough outlines, filling the spaces completely and heaping slightly.
  • Carefully insert a craft stick into cookie, forming a "lollipop.".
  • You can also avoid the stick, but I don't recommend it. Once you get past the cookie, its all sticky candy from there.
  • Bake in oven for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully. Remove cookie sheets from oven and place on counter to cool.
  • When cooled, gently peel off foil from each cookie pop. You will have created a beautiful created a stained glass effect!
  • Wrap each cookie pop in plastic wrap.
  • For gift giving, tie with a colorful ribbon.
  • These cookies can easily be made by children (with careful supervision).

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a Jewish Orthodox wife and hopefully soon, a mother to many. My home and kitchen are kosher, and as you many have imagined that can get a bit complicated. With a picky eating husband and significantly different tastes, I have to work hard to make my table a scrumptious place to be. I cook Kosher, and it's sometime a difficult venture, but it's what I know and love. So I use my skills, get a little creative, and create a little Kosher Magic.
