These stained glass sugar cookies are super easy to make. They’re my kids’ favorite treat to make for Valentine’s Day using heart-shaped cookie cutters. Made with crushed Jolly Rancher candies and a sugar cookie mix.
Prepare dough as directed with egg, butter and flour.
On a floured surface, roll out dough until ¼" thick.
Use a double heart or a small and a large cookie cutter to create hollow heart cookies. Place hollowed hearts onto cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.
Place like-colored jolly ranchers into plastic bag, cover with a dish towel and hammer until Jolly Ranchers are crushed to pieces.
Fill centers of hearts with crushed Jolly Ranchers.
Bake on 350˚ for 7-8 minutes or until edges are slightly golden brown.
Let cool and remove with spatula.

Notes
Use a thin metal spatula to carefully remove cookies once they've cooled enough to harden.
