That's really cool! I have never heard of Stained Glass Cookies before. I just Googled them and found this article/recipe which mentions LifeSavers and Jolly Ranchers:

They are really pretty and yummy too... kids love them, and they keep well.
You can make large cookies, cut out a few holes and put different colors in each space. They can look like cathedral windows if you are really artistic! Mine, maybe not so much....
That site... is AWESOME. I haven't even begun to think about Christmas gifts this year, but I know it's going to be a lean year. This is inspirational, I think I will begin coming up with some ideas. Thank you!
(Sadly I can't rep you for this... Why can't I rep you? Argh. Someone rep Southdown for me!! )

Aw thanks, it's the thought that counts! We are saving our pennies too, as redundancy looms for DH ... and ... so that was part of the reason for doing the home-made thing.
I have been saving pretty paper and gift bags for ages, I am going to use it all up this Christmas, filled with cookies and fudge!
I have been making peanut brittle for the last 25 years as gifts, and now if I forget someone they gently let me know. Which I don't mind. But it has grown so large, my daughter and daughter in law also make it with me. We have a week-end marathon. This year we went through 70 pounts of raw peanuts, and ended up with 135 bags of PB.
The best part is that its my grandmothers recipe, so I do think of her every time I make it.
Yes people love homemade gifts.
Me too, can't do it for me - but I can do detail for other people!
I was thinking of making 'stained glass' cookies to hang on the tree, can anyone recommend a good hard candy for that - I only made them in the UK before and they don't have the same sweeties here!
I just use Life savers for those. Worked good for me.
