I absolutely love these cookies...not your traditional sugar cookies, and are very yummy!
Ingredients:
1/2 C margarine or butter, softened
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C honey
1/4 C egg substitute, or 1 egg
1 t vanilla extract
1 t Baking Powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
5 (.90 oz) rolls Five Flavor or Fancy Fruits LIFE SAVERS candy
Beat together margarine or butter, sugar, honey, egg substitute, and vanilla in bowl with mixer until creamy. Mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4" thickness. Cut dough into desired shapes with 2 1/2-3" floured cookie cutters. Trace smaller version of cookie shape on dough leaving 1/2-3/4" border of dough. Cut out and remove dough from center of cookies; set aside. Place cut-out shapes on baking sheets lined with foil. Repeat with reserved dough, re-rolling scraps as necessary. (I found using a knife to dig out the middle is the easiest way; at first it was kind of hard, but got easier after a few tries.)
Crush each color of candy separately between two layers of wax paper. (We actually used a rolling pin and a baggie...worked great!) Spoon crushed candy inside centers of cut-out cookie shapes.
Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 6-8 minutes or until candy is melted and cookies are lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before removing from foil.
Seriously, I LOVE these cookies! Great flavor, thanks to the honey I think.
