Stained Glass Wreath Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 tube (450 g) sugar cookie dough
• 1 bag of assorted colored hard candies (recommended: Lifesavers)
• 1 small tube of decorative glaze
• 1 packet of silver dragees
• Special equipment: 24 strings or ribbons 20 cm long.

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C and line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats.
2. Cut the dough log into 0.5 cm thick slices and place them on prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2.5 cm apart.
3. Cut a 2.5 cm diameter hole in the center of each dough circle (using a small cutter). Remove the center and place a lollipop in its place.
4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove the baking sheets from the oven. While the cookies are still hot, use a large straw to poke a hole in the top for the ribbon. Place the baking sheets on a wire rack and let the cookies cool completely.
6. Once the cookies have cooled completely, use decorative icing to attach silver candy canes to each wreath. Let the icing set. Insert a ribbon through the hole in the cookie and tie the ends together. Repeat with the remaining cookies. These wreath-shaped cookies can be used as Christmas decorations.
