Instructions: PREHEAT oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with foil.

CUT dough in half; refrigerate one half. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon flour onto work surface. Sprinkle additional flour over remaining half. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness, using additional flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes with 2 1/2 inch cookie cutters. Cut out small shapes in cookie centers. Transfer cookies to prepared baking sheet with spatula; place about 2 inches apart. Spoon candy into each center to fill holes. Pierce hole at top of shape if cookie is going to be hung.

Repeat with remaining dough.

BAKE for 6 to 7 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on baking sheet for 1 minute; slide foil with cookies to wire rack to cool completely. Store tightly covered.
