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 WREATH COOKIES
Melted candy gives the "ornaments" that adorn these wreath-shaped Christmas sugar cookies the appearance of stained glass.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Tint dough with food color as desired. 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 2 1/2-inch fluted round cutter, cut out rounds. Using a 3/4-inch fluted round cutter, cut out centers of cookies. Using a #12 Ateco pastry tip (for ornaments), cut out small shapes within wreaths where you want "stained glass" to appear. Transfer 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.
