STAINED GLASS COOKIES 
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. honey
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. unsifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
5 roll fruit flavored Life Savers

In a large bowl beat together butter, sugar, honey, egg, and vanilla until thoroughly blended. Stir in flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Blend well. Cover and refrigerate several hours.

Roll dough out to a 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured board. With cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes. Trace a smaller version of cookie shape on dough leaving a 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch border of dough. Cut out and remove dough in center of cookies. Place on baking sheets lined with foil.

Crush each color of Life Savers separately between 2 layers of wax paper with a mallet. Spoon crushed candy inside centers of cookies. Bake at 350 degrees about 6-8 minutes, or until candy is melted and cookie is lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before removing from foil.

If using cookies as hanging ornaments, make holes at top of cookies for string before baking. Makes 3 dozen cookies.
