Ingredients
50g butter
50g golden caster sugar
140g plain flour
1 medium egg
1tsp vanilla essence
1 crushed, clear hard boiled sweet
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. In a large mixing bowl combine the butter, caster sugar, plain flour, an egg and vanilla essence until you have a dough.
2
Roll out the dough to the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out various shapes (try stars, trees or circles). Place your shapes on a baking tray lined with baking parchment.
3
Cut out a small circular hole in the centre of each biscuit. Fill each hole with one crushed, clear hard boiled sweet. This will melt in the oven to create your 'stained glass'.
4
Bake your biscuits in the oven for 8 mins until light golden and firm. Allow to cool completely.
