Enhance snowflake cookies with a stunning stained glass design and a sweet, crunchy finish.
Ingredients:
  • 200g butter, softened
  • 2 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 107.50 gm caster sugar
  • 32.50 gm rice flour
  • 375.00 ml plain flour, sifted
  • 33.00 gm almond meal
  • 62.50 ml pink coloured sugar
  • 3 x 90g packets boiled lollies
Instructions:
  • In an electric mixer, whip together butter, lemon zest, and caster sugar until creamy. Mix in flours and almond meal until thoroughly incorporated. Form the mixture into a disk, cover, and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced and prepare 4 baking trays by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
  • Roll out the dough between two sheets of baking paper until it's 3mm thick. Use an 8cm flower-shaped cutter to cut out shapes from the dough, then reroll any dough scraps. Arrange the snowflakes on 3 prepared trays, spacing them 2cm apart. With a 5cm flower-shaped cutter, cut small shapes from the center of each snowflake and place these small snowflakes on the remaining prepared tray.
  • Lightly brush the small snowflakes with cold water and sprinkle them with pink sugar. Bake in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes until they turn a light golden color. Let them cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sort boiled lollies by colors. Put 2 matching colored lollies in the middle of each big snowflake. Bake one tray at a time for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Let cool on trays for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
