Ingredients:
1/4 pound of butter (1 stick), room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon Rodelle Pure Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoon cream
1 1/2 cups flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Red and green Jolly Rancher Candy, 10-15 of each, crushed
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. Cream the butter, then gradually add the sugar, beating until light. Add the egg, vanilla extract and cream. Beat thoroughly. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add to the butter/sugar mixture and blend well. Prepare a clean flat surface by covering it with flour, enough so that the dough will not stick to the surface. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick. Using a larger cookie cutter, cut shapes into the dough. Transfer the cut-outs to a prepared cookie sheet. Center a smaller cookie cutter into the larger cut-out and gently remove. Bake cookies for 5 minutes, until slightly set. Remove tray from oven and with a small spoon or small utensil sprinkle crushed Jolly Rancher candy into the center of each cookie. Return tray to oven and bake 5-7 minutes more, until candy is melted and cookies are golden. Allow to cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes before setting on wire rack to cool completely.
