Bring together to form a dough and roll out on a floured surface.
Roll out to about a ¼ inch thick.
Cut into shapes of your choice using Christmas cutters. Place them on a lined baking tray.
Cut another hole in the centre, this will be the stained glass window.
Make a small hole at the top of each biscuit using a straw for threading twine through later.
Crush the boiled sweets using a rolling pin in separate sandwich bags according to colour.
Fill the holes in the centre of the cookies with the crushed sweets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Leave the biscuits to cool on a baking tray.
