Time 1h

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 4

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 batch pre-made sugar cookie dough
10 to 12 multicolored hard candies
6 ounces royal icing/cookie icing

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.
