Learn How it Works...
Cookie
1 1/2 cups Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 large Land O Lakes® Eggs, separated, reserve 1 egg white
2 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling
24 round chocolate candy wafers
1 reserved egg white
1 tablespoon water
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
4 teaspoons water
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Decorations
Red and green decorator sugars, sprinkles and/or candies
48 lollipop sticks
STEP 1
Combine powdered sugar, corn syrup, 4 teaspoons water and almond extract in bowl; beat at medium speed until well mixed. Spread glaze over cookies. Decorate with decorator sugars, sprinkles or candies. Let stand until glaze is set.
STEP 2
Combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in bowl; beat at medium speed until creamy. Add flour, baking powder and salt; beat at low speed until well mixed.
STEP 3
Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours until firm.
STEP 4
Cut candies in half crosswise to make 48 pieces; set aside.
STEP 5
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 6
Roll out dough, one-half at a time, on lightly floured surface (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 2-inch round cookie cutter. Place half of cookies,4 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets.
STEP 7
Place egg white and 1 tablespoon water in bowl; beat with whisk until frothy. Press 1 lollipop stick into middle of each cookie on cookie sheet. Top with 1 piece candy. Brush egg white mixture over 1 side of remaining cookies; place over candy, egg wash-side down. Press dough gently around candy; crimp outer edges together to seal, using tines of fork.
STEP 8
Bake 10-13 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown. Using spatula, remove to cooling racks. Cool completely.
