(butter/short./sugar, etc.) Add flour and chill the dough overnight.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out dough on waxed paper. Cut shapes

with LARGE cookie cutters. Then use SMALL cookie cutters to cut out

smaller areas for "windows". Place the cookies on a silpat sheet, or

well-greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet or cookie sheet

covered with parchment paper.

Bake for 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven, fill the openings with

crushed hard candies. Bake at 350 degrees for 4 to 5 minutes or until

candy is melted and cookies are just turning tan around the edges.

Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet.
