I never made it, yet.mudwhistle, have you made the butterbeer fudge before, because it doesn't say how much of everything that I'll need.
I never made it, yet.
I was going to make Butterbeer....but then I found some already made.
Never mind, I found out from somebody else that you could use chocolate pudding for it, so that's what I'm going to do instead.
Yeah, strawberries are out of season in some areas.
You can use any glazed fruit or fruit pie filling. I prefer cherry, but I like strawberry, blueberry, peach, and apricot.
Now if you are going to do chocolate, and want to be extravagant.............you might go Rocky Road.....
Add some chopped up candied pecans.......about 1/4 cup or less, depending on if you like them or not.
Mini marshmallows, about 1/2 cup.
And about a handful of salted, roasted peanuts, chopped a bit.
Something kids usually like...........
Stained Glass Cookies
Super simple and easy.
Ingredients
- Unsalted butter
- Granulated sugar
- Salt
- Eggs
- Vanilla extract
- All-purpose flour
- Jolly Ranchers
How to Make Stained Glass Cookies
- Unwrap and separate Jolly Ranchers into each color then place in separate small resealable bags. Crush into bits using a meat mallet, set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer cream together butter, sugar and salt until well combined.
- Mix in eggs one at a time then blend in vanilla.
- With mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and mix until well combined.
- Scrape dough out and shape into a rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and and chill 1 hour.
- Cut chilled dough into thirds. Leave one portion out to work with and chill remaining.
- Roll dough out onto a floured surface (about 1/5-inch thick). Cut out as many large stars as possible using a star shape cookie cutter (approx. 3.5 – 4-inch stars).
- Transfer cut stars to baking sheet lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Cut a smaller star from the center of each and remove (using a 1.5-inch star cutter). Re-roll and cut scrap dough.
- Fill cut out centers about 3/4 of the way with crushed jolly ranchers. Chill cookies in refrigerator 15 – 20 minutes Meanwhile preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Bake cookies until set and candy center has melted, about 12 – 14 minutes.
- Let cool on baking sheet until jolly ranchers have hardened. Repeat process with remaining refrigerated dough. Store in an airtight container
You can make different shapes, different sizes, and use different hard candies.
Not all candies will bake "clear". Jolly Ranchers are the best for that.
You can use any hard candy........peppermints, butterscotch, Lifesavers, lemon drops, etc...
You can even color your cookie dough, or brush the cookie part with a Royal Icing after baking.
You can also use a straw to poke a hole in the cookie before it bakes, if you want to use them as edible hanging ornaments.
Thanks for the ideas but I'm not a huge fan of nuts or Rocky Road.
Looks really cute, but define easy lol as my idea of Christmas cookies is the premade dough ones. That way, less mess to clean up afterwards.
Boy oh boy I sure hope that there will be room in the refrigerator for everything that I'm making.
