Equipment

Ingredients
  

For The Cookies

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour divided
  • 24 Clear Hard Candies in desired colors

For The Glaze

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 drops of milk

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla and salt and continue blending until thoroughly combined.   
  • Slowly add the flour, mixing just until combined.
  • Cover the dough and place in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out onto a floured surface about a half of an inch thick.
  • Cut into desired shapes (we made ours heart shaped), being sure to cut out hollow areas to place the Jolly Rancher candy.
  • Place shapes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the Jolly Rancher candies and organize by color. Then place each color into a plastic bag. Crush into small pieces.
  • Place the candy in the hollowed out areas.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are set and the candy centers are melted. Be careful to not over bake.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet until the candy is completely cooled.
  • Mix the glaze and drizzle over cookies when cooled.
  • Serve and enjoy!
