How to cook deliciously - Stained Glass Cookies

1. Stage

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Stage

In another large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Add egg, milk, and almond extract and beat to combine. Add dry ingredients and beat until fully incorporated.

3. Stage

Divide dough in half and shape each into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Sort jolly ranchers by color and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to crush into small pieces, keeping the colors separated.

Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Working one disk at a time, roll dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4" thick. Cut shapes out with large cookie cutters, then cut the centers out with a small cookie cutter of the same shape. Place on prepared baking sheets.

Fill the centers about ¾ full with crushed jolly ranchers. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 30 minutes.
