Window Cookies step by step
- In a large bowl, put first the sugar, then Butter then the Flour, and if using, Cinnamon. Mix with fingers by rubbing mix together until it looks like breadcrumbs. (Putting the sugar in first, stops the butter from sticking to the bowl)..
- Add a little water at a time, mixing with a spoon, or in a mixer, until the dough comes together. Place in a floured board and roll out to about 1 cm deep. Cut out using 2 sizes of cutters, (can using middle bits as extra cookies!).
- Place onto a buttered, then floured, tray. Crush the sweets in a plastic bag into small pieces. Use a teaspoon to drop some sweet crush into each centre hole. Use a straw to make a ribbon hole at top of each cookie..
- Cook in medium heat oven for about 10-15 minutes. Allow to cool completely, or they will stick on the tray. If they are stuck, place, once cool, into the fridge for a few minutes to set..
- Thread ribbon through the holes and hang on the tree, (if they last that long!!!) cookie dough can be frozen in advance and thawed out for about an hour as and when required. Enjoy!!.
