Directions

30 min
  1. 1

    Prepare store-bought hard candies. Using small candies like Canbe eliminates the need to crush them and makes the process smoother.

  2. 2

    Prepare the cookie dough from Recipe ID: 17563615. If using half the batch, it will fit on one baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Cut out shapes using cookie cutters. Place on parchment paper and cut out shapes with a hole for the candy. Preheat the oven to 170°C.

  4. 4

    Pre-bake the cut-out cookies at 170°C for about 10 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.

  5. 5

    Place the ★ candies in the holes. Adjust the amount according to the size of your shapes.

  6. 6

    Return to the 170°C oven and bake for about 7 more minutes. Watch carefully until the candies are completely melted.

  7. 7

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the parchment paper. Once the candies harden, they're ready to enjoy!

Tips

The candies will flow out while baking, so leave the cookies on the parchment paper until they harden completely. The candies will bake even if not crushed as long as they're in the holes. Baking time will be longer than with crushed candies, so watch carefully and adjust as needed.
