What’s a classic Christmas cookie that also serves as colorful tree decorations? Betty Crocker’s answer: Stained-Glass Cookies.

A simple sugar cookie decorated with colorful precise geometric shapes to mimic the effect of a stained-glass window. The dough comes together easily, and the cookie assembly is a fun art project, pairing fun colors and shapes together to create the effect.

Plus, we explore how the sugar cookie came to be, and why we leave them out for Santa each Christmas.

Happy Homemaking!
