It is easy to make. You need cookie dough and candies. That's it.


Stained Glass Cookies

Cookies;
220g Plain Flour
1/4 tea spoon of Baking Powder 
125g unsalted Butter (room temperature)
80g Sugar
1 Egg yolk
1 tea spoon of Vanila extract

Candy (your favorite coler)

1. Crash the candy with rolling pin
2. Shift flour and baking powder in a bowl together.
3. In the bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  

4. Beat in the egg yolk and vanila extract.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
6. Divide the dough in half, and wrap each half in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5mm. Use your favorite shape cutter to cut out the cookies. With an offset spatula lift the cut out cookies onto the baking sheet.  If you are hanging the cookies or using as gift tags, make a hole at the top of the cookies with a straw or end of a wooden skewer.
