Holiday baked goods, Kona coffee brownies, coconut cake from my previous recipes with window pane cookies.

I use either a package sugar cookie recipe or the refrigerated roll of sugar cookies found in the dairy section of the supermarket. 

Ingredients Needed:

• Use several colors of lollipops, I use clear colored lollipops or hard candies
• Bag or roll of refrigerator Sugar cookie mix
• Spray shortening or oil to grease the cookie pan

Step 1: Assemble ingredients and crush the colored candy. Use a hammer or can of soup/beans instead of a hammer.

Step 2: Mix the cookie recipe according the bag or box. Slice the sugar cookies if that is the method of cookie dough you chose.

Step 3: Make cookie on the pan and cut the insides of each cookie where the crushed candy will go.

Step 4: Fill the insides of each cookie with the crushed candy and be sure the candy is piled high as it melts flat when in the oven.

Bake at 350-375 degrees depending on the directions of your cookie mix. If you want to make sugar cookies from scratch I hear that Paula Deen has a great recipe. I do not have extra time to make a scratch recipe all the time. This recipe I shared with you is the busy person version of window pane cookies.

Enjoy this recipe and feel free to email me with your questions and comments. Thanks for reading my column and remember to take a few cookies to the neighbor or a friend and spread the Aloha Spirit where ever you live.
