Stained Glass Heart Cookies

Happy Valentine's Day.


Managed to squeeze in some time for this, a recipe I've been wanting to try for a while now.


The lollipop sticks gave the ordinary cookies a more special lolly-feel. Though it took a little more effort, I like the end results.


More lolli-kies!! hahaha


To make these stained glass lolli-kies, you need some boiled or hard candy.
LHS is some candies I bought from Tokyo; RHS are Fox candies which you can get from the supermarket locally. If you are in Australia, you can use the rainbow coloured Lifesavers tube of candy.


Using your favourite cookie recipe, cut out the centres, pre-bake them for 5 min and fill them with crushed candy. Continue baking until the cookie is baked and the candy melted. Leave to cool before carefully removing the cookie from the baking paper.


Side note: Not to put a damper on the valentine day spirit but DH and I do not celebrate Valentine. We feel its too much a commercial cliché. You shouldn't leave it all to one day in a year to declare or appreciate the one you love, you should be doing it 365-24-7!!

jacss, think valentine is more for new love...yes it could be age-reality factor! ;p

B&B mama, hi. i like the one by Delia Smith - u can find her recipe online. Key with brownies is not to overbake them. They are not cakes (repeat after me, they are not cakes...hehehe, even i got to remind myself when baking these) and they are meant to be fudgy.
