Time: 1 hr min
Total Time: 3 hr 8 min
Makes: About 4 dozen cookies or 24 servings,
2 cookies each
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or
margarine, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp. CALUMET Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
5 rolls (1-1/4 oz. each) LIFE SAVERS Fancy Fruits Roll Candy
or LIFE SAVERS Five Flavor Roll Candy
BEAT butter, sugar, honey, egg and vanilla
in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well
blended. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; mix
well. Cover. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Place dough on lightly
floured surface; roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into desired
shapes with 2-1/2- to 3-inch floured cookie cutters. Trace smaller
version of each cookie shape on dough, leaving 1/2- to 3/4-inch
border of dough. Cut out and remove dough from center of each
shape; set aside. Place cutouts on baking sheets covered with
foil. Shape remaining dough into ball; re-roll to make additional
cutouts.
CRUSH each color of candy separately between
2 layers of wax paper with mallet. Spoon crushed candy inside
centers of cutouts.
BAKE 6 to 8 minutes or until candy is melted
and cookies are lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before
removing from foil.
How To Make Cookies into Ornaments
Before baking cookies, use a drinking straw to poke a hole in
the top of each cookie cutout. Bake and cool as directed. Thread
a piece of ribbon through the hole to use for hanging.
