A little idea for the approaching Mother's Day...
Why not make this batch of 'Window Cookies' or 'Stained Glass Cookies'?
It is nothing more nor less than a batch of chocolate shortbread biscuits, with a pink center, mounted on a stick like cookie pops.
But how did I make this pretty transparent pink heart? (I can already see you asking yourself the question in front of your screen...!).
... Well... With sour candies, which I melted in the oven.
To find out everything, here is the explanation in the recipe below.
- Stained Glass Biscuits x12
- Make a batch of chocolate shortbread cookies according to my recipe [dividing the quantities by 2]. To find it, click here.
- Roll out the cookie dough on your work surface to a thickness of 0,5cm.
- Using a cookie cutter, cut out the desired shapes (stars for me).
- Place the shapes on a baking sheet covered with baking paper, then cut out the heart inside the shapes to 'hollow them out'.
- Preheat the oven to 165° conventional heat.
- Place a stick at the bottom of each star, taking care not to push it in too far, as it should not be visible on the other side. Then carefully turn the shape over.
- Refrigerate for 5 minutes so that the shape is kept well during cooking. Then bake for 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the candy powder by putting 15 pink sour candies in a freezer bag. Tap the bag with a small hammer to crush them.
- Remove the cookie sheet and place candy powder in each 'heart'. Return to bake for 5 minutes.
- Remove and leave to cool on your work surface.
- Carefully remove the lollipops thus made then decorate the sticks as you wish: ribbon, masking tape...
