Recipe: Stained Glass Cookies
Description: These easy stained glass cookies use hard candy to create beautiful holiday cookies, without too much effort. Use them as homemade ornaments too! 
Ingredients: [{"text": "3 c. all-purpose flour"}, {"text": "1 tsp. baking powder"}, {"text": "1/2 tsp. kosher salt"}, {"text": "1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened"}, {"text": "1 c. granulated sugar"}, {"text": "1 large egg"}, {"text": "1 tbsp. milk"}, {"text": "1/2 tsp. almond extract"}, {"text": "Hard candies, such as Jolly Ranchers"}]
Instructions: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.&nbsp;
In another large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg, milk, and almond extract and beat to combine. Add dry ingredients and beat until fully incorporated.&nbsp;
Divide dough in half and shape each into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.&nbsp;
Sort jolly ranchers by color and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush into small pieces, keeping the colors separated.&nbsp;
Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Working one disk at a time, roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4"&nbsp;thick. Cut shapes out with large cookie cutters, then cut the centers out with a small cookie cutter of the same shape. Place on prepared baking sheets.&nbsp;
Fill the centers about ¾ full with crushed jolly ranchers. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.&nbsp;
Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake cookies until edges are lightly golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely before removing from baking sheets.
