Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add and combine the yeast mixture, and the extracts. In a separate bowl whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour and salt and gradually add them to your mixture. Caution: Do not over mix, but make sure to keep your mixture homogenous. Prepare a cookie sheet with pan spray and drop spoonfuls of dough 3 to 4 inches apart. Bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before decorating. Ganache: 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 1 pound good dark chocolate, chopped 1 1/4 cups heavy cream 1 pound good white chocolate, chopped Place chocolate into 2 separate bowls, 1 for dark and 1 for white. Slowly boil the cream in 2 separate pots. Pour 1 pot cream over the dark and 1 pot over the white and let chocolate melt. Whisk each until smooth. To decorate: While the ganache is slightly warm, have fun with it. Maybe some of it will even end up on the cookies! Sandra's Stained Glass Wreath Cookies Ingredients 1 (16-ounce) tube sugar cookie dough 1 bag assorted round hard candies (recommended: Lifesavers) 1 small tube white decorating icing 1 package silver dragees 24 (8-inch) long pieces string or ribbon Preparation directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

While still warm, make a hole at the top of each cookie with a large straw. Place baking sheet on the cooling rack and cool completely. When the cookies have completely cooled, use the decorative icing and evenly space 6 icing dots around the edges of each cookie. Lightly push the silver dragees into the icing dots. Allow icing to harden. Place the 8-inch piece of ribbon through the hole at the top and tie the ends together. Repeat with remaining cookies. You can eat your cookies or hang them as ornaments on a Christmas tree or in a window.
