Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 batch Vanilla Dough or Chocolate Dough
Unbleached all-purpose flour, for dusting
Crushed hard candies

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Shape dough into 2 disks, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Roll out 1 disk on a lightly floured piece of parchment to a 1/8- to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining disk. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Using a 4-inch snowman cutter, cut out snowmen. Using a small fluted or plain round cutter and #12 Ateco pastry tip (for button holes), cut out small shapes within snowmen where you want "stained glass" to appear. Transfer snowmen to parchment-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake 8 minutes. Fill cutouts with candy. Continue baking until cookies are firm and candies are melted, 5 to 8 minutes more. Transfer sheets to wire racks; let cool completely.
