Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup butter softened
  • 48 servings sprinkles assorted
  • 16  crème de cassis liqueur rectangular cut into thirds thin
  •  eggs 
  • tablespoons flour all-purpose
  • 48 servings purple gel food coloring green red
  • pouch sugar cookie mix (1 lb 1.5 oz)

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • knife
  • wire rack
  • cookie cutter

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter, egg and flour until dough forms. Divide dough into thirds. Tint one-third red and one-third green with food colors; leave one-third plain. Keep dough covered tightly until ready to use.
  2. On floured surface, roll each third of dough until 1/8 inch thick. For round cookies, cut with 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter; for square cookies, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares using sharp knife. (Dip cutter or knife in flour for easier cutting.)
  3. On ungreased cookie sheet, place half the cookies 1 inch apart.
  4. Place 1 candy piece on center of each cookie; top with another cookie. Gently press edges together to seal, using tines of fork. To decorate before baking, sprinkle cookies with colored sprinkles, sugars or decors as desired.
  5. Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Decorate with gels as desired.
