This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

5 rolls multi-colored Lifesavers candy
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix sugar, shortening, vanilla and eggs in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Roll dough to 1/8-inch on floured board. Cut into shapes; use 1 cutter for shape, another for outline. Place on large, foil covered, cookie sheets.
Crush Lifesavers and place in cut outs. Bake until very light brown and candy is melted, 7 to 9 minutes.
Use metal spatula to spread melted candy to edge of cut outs, if necessary.

These are my kids favorite cookies. Forget chocolate chip, forget peanut butter. My kids love these! We use rootbeer flavored candy usually but they also like some of the fruit flavors.
