Ingredients | The Greek Souvlaki Staines

3 tablespoons butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

¾ cup molasses

⅓ cup water

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

5 ¾ ounces sourball hard candies

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, brown sugar and molasses until smooth. Add water. Stir together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Gradually add flour mixture to creamed mixture; blend well.

Wrap dough in plastic and chill for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Cut out paper stars, bells, hearts, or other holiday motifs. Trace shapes onto a sheet of aluminum foil. Place foil on a baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray.

Roll pieces of dough into ropes about 1/4-inch wide. Outline the foil designs with ropes of dough. Press ends lightly together.

Separate candies by color. In a blender or food processor, coarsely crush candies. Fill in dough outlines with the desired color candies.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 4 to 5 minutes or until cookie is set and candy melts. Transfer cookies and foil to a cooling rack and cool completely before removing foil.
