The table lights up with magic with Thermomix Stained Glass Cookies! Biscuits of all shapes and sizes enclose small shiny and transparent surfaces such as glass.
They are so fascinating that they enchant (and entice) young and old.
Thermomix stained glass cookies are those cookies that if you see them, they seem very complicated to make…. instead they are really very simple.
The window effect inside the biscuits always arouses great amazement, but making it is child's play ... especially with the Thermomix! Just chop a few seconds the candies and cook them with the biscuit for a few minutes.
A trivial trick that gives a perfect result ;-) If you want to create shades of color, instead, you can use isomalt (a friend told me so but I haven't used it yet: candies are too comfortable!).
If you make a small hole along the edge, where it is thicker, you can pass a colored ribbon and they become perfect decorations for the tree. And they are also very nice to give as gifts!
If you are looking for other ideas for Christmas cookies, I suggest the vanillekipferl, some very very good Austrian cookies, gingerbreads or cinnamon cookies.

If you want to hang the cookies on the tree, make a hole with the toothpick in the thickest part of the edge!
