Make sure your ingredients are the right temperature, that you use the right equipment, and that you pay attention to mixing, chilling and baking times.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don&rsquo;t overmix the dough.<\/strong> A common mistake when making cookies is overmixing the dough. If you continue mixing after the ingredients are combined, the gluten in the flour will become over-actived, and you&rsquo;ll end up with tough, dense cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Measure with precision.<\/strong>&nbsp;I highly recommend using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/46O5T9F\" data-eafl-id=\"62991\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">kitchen scale<\/a> to weigh your ingredients (especially the flour). If you don&rsquo;t have a scale, be attentive when using measuring cups and spoons; measure your flour by spoonful into the measuring cup, then use the back of a knife to level off the top of the cup. This spoon and level method is better and more precise than just dipping your measuring cup in the flour bin. Dipping into the flour bin causes it get compacted and you&rsquo;ll end up with more flour than the recipe calls for. More flour = dry cookies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use the right baking surface.&nbsp;<\/strong>It&rsquo;s best to use an <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3j5GCUJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">aluminium, light-colored, non-insulated baking sheet<\/a> with parchment paper. You don&rsquo;t need to grease the parchment or pan, either. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241847432\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">If Your cookies are too flat or lose their shape<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your cookies spread out and are too flat, the most common reasons are: <br><br>&ndash; not enough flour was used<br>&ndash; an insulated baking sheet was used<br>&ndash; oven runs cool (temperature not high enough)<br><br>Make sure to use the right kind of baking sheet and measure your flour properly. You can also freeze the cut-out cookies for 20 minutes before filling and baking to help them hold their shape.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1697241850529\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">The Candy Layer Melts Unevenly<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you have trouble with the candy layer, follow these tips:<br><br>&ndash; For the best results, crush the candy into very fine, uniform pieces for more even melting. <br>&ndash; Ensure your oven is at the correct temperature by using an oven thermometer. <br>&ndash; All ovens are different, so you may need to bake the cookies for an extra minute or two.<br>&ndash; Use less crushed candy in the cutouts. A thin layer will create a more delicate &ldquo;glass&rdquo; effect.<br><br>While most hard candies will work, you might encounter the odd type that does not melt well. (Rock candy in particular won&rsquo;t melt and should not be used.) I recommend Jolly Ranchers for their color and melt-ability. <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1733963549629\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Storage Information<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">These cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for 5-7 days. I don&rsquo;t recommend refrigerating or freezing them because of the hard candy centers. The condensation will cause the centers to become sticky and gooey. If you live in a humid climate, you may find that the centers become sticky even at room temperature, in which case you should plan on consuming them in 2-3 days.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"%f0%9f%92%ad-variations\">&#128173; Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Make cookie &ldquo;ornaments.&rdquo;<\/strong> Poke a hole in the top of the cookies with a toothpick before baking, and poke it again as soon as the cookies are out of the oven. Once completely cool, thread a thin ribbon or string through the hole and use the cookies as edible ornaments. If you plan on doing this, you should bake the cookies longer so they are firmer\/crunchier. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use other Christmas cutters:<\/strong> You can add the stained glass effect to other Christmas shapes like snowmen, Christmas trees, snowflakes, stars and hearts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Other holidays: <\/strong>This stained glass look would also be fun to use for other holidays of the year like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/valentines-day-recipes\/\">Valentine&rsquo;s Day<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/july-4th\/\">4th of July<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/tag\/halloween-recipes\/\">Halloween<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add color variation: <\/strong>I made my cookies with solid colored centers. However, you can make pretty swirled or layered designs by alternating the colors of the candy bits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try homemade candy centers: <\/strong>If you want to make the stained glass centers from scratch, try my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sugarhero.com\/edible-sugar-glass\/\">Edible Sugar Glass<\/a> recipe.
