Steps:
- In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg; beat until smooth, 1 minute.
- Add reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Stir in vanilla. Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate for about 45 minutes.
- Position two racks in oven; preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a Silpat (nonstick baking mat); set aside.
- On a well-floured work surface, roll out chilled dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut out exterior shapes using a cookie cutter or templates. With a metal spatula, transfer whole cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Using tip of a paring knife, make a cutout in center of each cookie to be filled with candy. Using a straw or the narrow end of a plain round pastry tip, cut a hole in the top of each cookie for hanging.
- Chop the candies into 1/4-inch pieces. Sprinkle chopped candy in the center of each cookie, filling the hole. Transfer baking sheet to the refrigerator, and chill until cookie dough is firm, about 15 minutes. Place the baking sheet in the oven, and bake cookies until the candy has melted and completely filled the cut-out area, 6 to 8 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown, or the stained-glass effect will not be as brilliant and the candy centers may become bubbly, not clear.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes, and then use a metal spatula to transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
STAINED GLASS COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
- On a clean work surface, dust with flour and roll the sugar cookie dough to 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick.
- Using your large Christmas tree or snowflake cutter, cut out shapes and place onto a prepared baking sheet. Re-roll the excess dough to repeat this process until you have used all the dough.
- While on the silicone mat, use the smaller cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the centers of the cookies.
- Place the hard candies into resealable plastic bags and crush using a hammer or the rolling pin until they are almost a dust; you want the pieces to be small enough to fit in your cutouts.
- Sprinkle the crushed hard candy into the cutouts you made in the center of each cookie; be careful not to get any on the top of the cookie. Fill each hole two-thirds of the way.
- If you are planning to use these as ornaments, make a smaller hole towards the top of the cookie using a wooden skewer.
- Bake the cookies until just golden brown around the edges, 10 to 15 minutes; the candy should be melted and bubbling in the center. Allow to cool completely on the pan before attempting to move.
- While cooling, place your royal icing into a pastry bag with a coupler and a decorating tip. Decorate the tops of the cookies with the royal icing. Allow to dry completely before moving.
STAINED GLASS WREATH COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with silicone baking pads.
- Slice dough log at 1/4-inch intervals and place onto prepared baking sheets spaced 1 inch apart.
- Press a 1-inch round cutter into the center of each cookie round. Remove the small circle of dough and replace it with a round hard candy.
- Bake in oven 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven. While still warm, make a hole at the top of each cookie with a large straw. Place baking sheet on the cooling rack and cool completely.
- When the cookies have completely cooled, use the decorative icing and evenly space 6 icing dots around the edges of each cookie. Lightly push the silver dragees into the icing dots. Allow icing to harden.
- Place the 8-inch piece of ribbon through the hole at the top and tie the ends together.
- Repeat with remaining cookies.
- You can eat your cookies or hang them as ornaments on a Christmas tree or in a window.
STAINED GLASS TREES
To make your own cookie shapes, draw a simple Christmas-tree or ornament shape onto a manila folder, and cut it out. Place the cutout on rolled-out cookie dough, and cut around it with the tip of a paring knife. Alternatively, you can cut out cookies with cookie cutters (wide shapes work best). Use the knife tip to cut out the centers of the cookies.

Using the tip of a paring knife, make a triangular cutout in center of each cookie for candy filling. Reroll scraps, and cut.
- Sprinkle candy in a single layer in hole of each cookie, avoiding edges of triangle. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 15 minutes.
