Stained Glass Cookie Pops Recipe
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 12 cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup honey
- Crushed hard candies (assorted colors)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line cookie sheets with foil.

In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetable shortening, sugar, egg, flour, salt, and honey.
-
Mix until a soft dough is formed.
-
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
-
Shape the dough into ropes, about 1/4-inch thick, resembling snake shapes. These will form the outlines of your cookies.
-
Place the dough ropes on the prepared cookie sheets and form them into various designs such as dreidels, Jewish stars, Christmas trees, or ornaments.
-
Ensure the ends of the dough are completely pinched together to form the outline of the stained glass picture.
-
Sprinkle the crushed candies inside the dough outlines, filling the spaces completely and heaping slightly to create a vibrant stained glass effect.
-
Carefully insert a craft stick into each cookie, forming a “lollipop” shape.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
-
Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and place them on the counter to cool.
-
Once cooled, gently peel off the foil from each cookie pop.
