Glass stained cookies with step by step pictures.These are so-called because of the glass finished look in the centre of it.The glass effect is by the hard coloured candies which melt in the oven and give the effect as it cools.

First bake the cookie for about 8-10 mins then take out, add crushed candies in the middle and bake it again till the candle bubbles.Don't remove the cookie immediately after it is baked, give a resting time of 10-15 mins for the candies to set inside and gives a glass stained effect.
