- Fruit-flavored hard candies (e.g., Life Savers)
- Plastic sandwich bags (one for each color) and a rolling pin

- Non-stick spray
- Parchment paper
Cooking Instructions
- Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll into strips about 1/4" thick. Use to make outlines on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pinch ends together well. Start with simple shapes and then try more complex ones.
- Sort the hard candies into plastic bags by color. Crush them with a rolling pin. Use to fill openings in the cookies.
- If you want to hang the cookies on your Christmas tree, thicken dough at the top and punch a hole with a straw before baking.
