Directions: |
Directions:Mix the flour, salt, and baking powder together in a bowl. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla, and almond extract and beat until well combined.
Mix in the eggs until smooth.
Stir in the flour mixture just until incorporated.
Roll out the dough to about 3/16th inch thickness on a silicone mat or a flour dusted cutting board.
Cut out dough using a 3 1/2 inch mason jar cookie cutter.
Remove excess dough leaving mason jars in place.
Cut the centers out using an oblong cookie cutter or knife leaving about 1/2 - 3/4 inch of cookie dough around the outside.
Remove the center pieces of dough.
Place the cookies in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Re-roll dough and repeat creating about 60 cookies.
Remove and peel the frozen cookies off the silicone mat or cutting board and place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, crush the clear mint candies into very fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
Remove hot cookies from oven and spoon candy crumbs into the center of each cookie, filling them about 1/2 full.
Return cookies to oven and allow the candy to melt for 3-4 minutes.
Remove and allow cookies to cool completely before removing them from the cookie sheet.
Brush a thin layer of piping gel over about 3/4 of the candy glass.
Sprinkle candies or sprinkles over the piping gel.
Let the gel dry for about 30 minutes.
Paint black candy melts over the lid portion of the cookies.
Let the candy melts dry.
Brush edible silver luster dust over the black candy lid to create a shine. |
