Make a cheery treat for Christmas with these colorful cookies. Kids love using a rolling pin to crunch up the different colors of Life Savers used as a decorative topping.
What you'll need:
- Make and chill basic refrigerator cookie dough
- Life Savers candies
- Plastic sandwich bags (one for each color)
- Rolling pin
How to make it:
- 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 Life Savers 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.
- Bake at 375 F for 8 to 0 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely, then peel off foil.
