Go
- In a large bowl, mix together margarine,
sugar and honey. Add water and stir until
smooth.
- Combine salt, baking soda and flour in a
separate bowl.
- Add the salt combination to the sugar
mixture by stirring in slowly.
- Knead the dough by squishing it between
your fingers. When the dough gets soft, put it
in the freezer to chill for at least 10 minutes.
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Sprinkle some flour on a piece of waxed
paper. Then roll pieces of dough into long, thin
strips.
- On a separate piece of waxed paper, use
the strips to create designs. Be sure to make
a loop at the top if you’re going to use these
cookies as ornaments.
- Carefully turn over the dough design onto
a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil.
Gently pull away the waxed paper.
- Repeat steps 7 and 8 for each cookie.
- Put your dough designs in the oven and
bake for 5 to 8 minutes. While you wait,
unwrap candies and separate by color. Put
each color in a small bag and crack with a
hammer (tap lightly).
- When the dough designs are done
baking, take them out of the oven and let them
cool.
- Fill each section of the dough designs
with a layer of candy pieces.
- Put the filled cookies back in the oven
until the candy starts to bubble. Watch
carefully to make sure the cookies don’t burn.
Remove and let cool.
- Once the candy has hardened, peel from
foil. Enjoy!
