My mom and I first made stained glass cookies late one Christmas eve when everyone else had gone to bed. We used a rolled out gingerbread cookie recipe and cooked up the "glass" using a standard lollypop recipe. We made several different colors and prebaked the cookie parts a few minutes before adding the colored sugar pieces, then baking a few more minutes to smooth the "glass". Mom was an artist and her "cookies"were truly beautiful. Angels with pale blue wings, rabbits, gnomes. Many Christmases we decorate the tree with just lights and cookies.
