Stained Glass Cookies

"These are from my childhood. The cookies get sprinkled with partially crushed candies so they look like broken bits of stained glass on top. They are really pretty and easy to make.I used to make these every year for Christmas when I was a kid. I loved crushing the candy. I used either lollypops or life savers fruit flavoreded candies usually, but any transparent, colorful hard candy you like can be used. I always had a full rainbow of colors. Originally from a community cookbook, "Jones Farm Country Kitchen," which is still one of my favorite community cookbooks ever."
