Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup crushed hard candies assorted colors

Instructions 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters, then cut out smaller shapes from the centers.
  5. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets. Fill the center of each cookie with crushed hard candies.
  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the candy has melted. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets.
