Directions:
Mix first seven ingredients to form a stiff dough; wrap and chill for at least one hour.

Separate candy by color and crush each color separately, using a mallet or food processor.

Roll out chilled dough ¼” thick on floured surface, using cookie cutters that have a circle or other cut-out in the middle.

Place cut out dough shapes on a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and lightly greased.

Fill cut-out areas with candy until they are filled and level with dough.

Bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes, or until cookies are barely golden.

Cool so that candy is firm before removing from cookie sheet.
