Hi Friends,
Turn basic vanilla cookies into a miniature work of art with this candied cookie recipe. The melted candies in these cookies look like tiny stained-glass windows when they catch the light. Make a mixture of some plain cookies and some with sweet centers — hang some from your Christmas tree as edible decor. Package them in a holiday-inspired box for a wonderful gift basket addition.
