Stained Glass Cookies

Ingredients:
Make basic ice box cookie dough, and chill
Lifesavers candies
Plastic sandwich bags (one for each color)
Rolling pin


Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll into strips about 1/4" thick. Use to make shape outlines on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pinch ends together well. Start with simple shapes and then try more complex ones.

Sort the Lifesavers into plastic bags by color. Crush them with a rolling pin. Use to fill the open spaces in the cookies.

If you want to hang the cookies on your Christmas tree, thicken dough at the top and punch a hole with a straw before baking.

Bake at 375F for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely, then peel off foil.
