My absolute favorite Disney cartoon is Cinderella. I love the magical tale, and I watched it over and over growing up. I loved the idea that a girl who lived as a peasant could become a Princess, and that there was a Prince Charming out there waiting for me. I was beyond excited when I heard about the new Cinderella, and I’ve been planning this Fandango Family post for months. These Cinderella inspired Glass cookies are a blend of a traditional glass cookie and a shortbread Linzer; it took several tries before I finally mastered a recipe that I could confidently share with my readers.

I attempted these several times with a firm sugar cookie recipe, and they wouldn’t work. I wanted a cookie that tasted good, but also one that wouldn’t rise considerably and distort the shape of the slipper in the process. FYI, you can find the cutter I used here. I ultimately went with pineapple Life Savers to get a nearly opaque slipper, but you can use a variety of flavors/colors. There are other options such as Jolly Ranchers, mints, or any other hard candy. The amount of crushed hard candy you fill the center with will also affect the opacity of the center. You have to put enough candy in the middle that when it melts, it fills the entire center. I hope you enjoy the recipe, and make sure you scroll down to see the latest Cinderella trailer.

You can head over to Fandango to watch the trailer. I’m also sharing a full party planning post on the Fandango blog

I think Lily James was perfectly cast as Cinderella. I love her so on Downton Abbey.

Are you exited about the release of Cinderella?
