Stain Glass Decoration Cookies
Makes 12
Ingredients
- 1 clementine
- 100g unsalted butter
- 180g plain flour
- 50g caster sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp milk
- 12 coloured boiled sweets
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 2
Add the butter, flour, sugar, clementine zest and cinnamon to a Mason Cash Mixing Bowl, then using your fingers, rub the butter into the mix until it resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Add the milk and combine to create soft dough. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 4
Separate the sweets into colours and place in separate sandwich bags. Carefully crush into small pieces with a rolling pin.
Step 5
Place dough on a lightly floured work surface, and roll out 1cm thick. Use your Mason Cash Set of 3 Mini Fondant Star Cutters to cut out the large star and place on the baking tray. Then use the smaller star to cut a ‘window’ in the centre of each biscuit.
Step 6
Sprinkle enough crushed sweets to fill the centre, and then use a cocktail stick to make a hole in the top of each biscuit, so you can tread a ribbon through them later.
Step 7
Bake for 12 minutes, or until golden. Leave to firm up, then thread with ribbon and hang them on the Christmas tree.
