Stained Glass Sugar Cookies *recipe from eHow.com:

You’ll need:

-Chilled sugar cookie dough

-Jolly Ranchers

-Circle cookie cutters

-Black icing

1. Roll out the cookie dough on a floured surface. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter.
2. Place circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a slightly smaller cookie cutter, cut out the center of each circle. This will create a ring shape. Re-roll the scraps and repeat to make as many circles as possible.
3. Chill the dough for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator. This will help the cookies keep their shape.
4. Just before you take out the dough, put the Jolly Ranchers in a resealable bag. Crush them with a meat mallet or rolling pin. Be sure to do this on a nonbreakable surface.
5. Preheat the oven to 325°F. This may be lower than the temperature listed on your recipe. Using a low temperature is best for ensuring the cookies keep their shape.
6. Transfer the chilled cookie dough to a new non-chilled sheet by picking up the parchment paper. This will help you avoid placing the cold cookie sheet in the oven, which can cause it to warp.
7. Fill 3/4 of each circle with crushed Jolly Ranchers. Place the sheet in the preheated oven.
8. Bake for 11 to 14 minutes. Remove them when the candy is melted. Ensure the cookies are golden brown on the edges.
9. Once the cookies have completely cooled, it’s time to create the spiderweb design using black royal icing. The first step is to pipe straight diagonal lines across the candy “glass” as if you were cutting a pizza.
10. Next, between those straight lines, add curved lines, making sure they connect with each other. This will create a spiderweb design.
