Ingredients :

200  gm  unsalted butter; room temp.
110  gm  caster sugar
    2  tsp  lemon juices
320  gm  cake flour
  20  gm  corn flour
 1/2  tsp  baking soda
Fruity candy  (FOX or BON BON brands)


Method :

1.   Sift cake flour, corn flour and baking soda ; set aside.

2.   Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3.   Add in lemon juice and flour mixture, mix well.

4.   Use a rolling pin, roll the dough to a thin sheet (4 mm), keep in the fridge (30 mins) to harden for easy handling.

5.   Use cookies cutters to cut dough into desired shapes.  Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheets.

6.   Using a smaller cookie cutter or a knife, cut shapes into centers of cookies, reserving these center bits to add into extra dough.

7.   If cookies will be hung as ornaments or decorations, poke a small hole in the top of each cookie before baking.

8.   Bake at pre-heated oven at 160'C for 10 minutes.  Remove the tray from the oven.

9.   Cut candy to 1/2 or 1/3 ; place it into the hollowed-out centers of the half baked cookies, try to keep the candy within the centers.  Any candy specks that fall on the cookies will colour the cookie.

10. Continue to bake for another 7-8 minutes, the candy should be melted and bubbling.

11.  Remove baking tray from oven and place on wire racks to cool.  Store in an airtight container.
