I've got this recipe my dd picked out yesterday for me to make for her party on Friday. I made the dough last night, had 2 hr. delay and then ran to store to get the Jolly Ranchers.
My ?? is: It says to put alum. foil on pans and spray with pam before baking.....well I've only used my stones for years can I use parchment on my stone with same effect?? Or do I have to dig my old air bakes out of storage :grumpy: to put alum. foil on them to bake??
Suggestions??
My other dd told me she's been assigned cupcakes and would like Heart shaped ones.........can I put a ball of alum. foil in corner of stoneware muffin pans and still have them bake ok??
Thanks for any and all suggestions!!

The Kurmin clan's Valentine's Day celebration is one occasion when "cookie cutter" actually means "unique," thanks to these eye-catching candy-center cookies. And what does this Marshfield, Massachusetts, family drink with their tasty treats? Why, pink milk, of course!
Ingredients
* 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/3 teaspoon salt
* 2 1/2 cups flour
* Hard candy for cookie center (we used Jolly Ranchers)
Instructions
To make the dough: Using an electric mixer at medium-high speed, cream the butter, gradually adding the sugar. Beat in the egg until evenly mixed, then blend in the vanilla extract and salt.
With a wooden spoon, stir the flour into the creamed ingredients, about one third at a time, until evenly blended. The dough may seem soft, but it will firm up when refrigerated.
Divide the dough in half. Flatten each portion into a disk and seal in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
To create the cookies: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Cover a sturdy baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil with cooking spray. Between 2 sheets of waxed paper lightly dusted with flour, roll the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the top sheet.
Cut out the cookies with a large cookie cutter. Use a spatula to transfer the shapes to the baking sheet, leaving about an inch between cookies. Remove the centers of the cookies with a smaller cookie cutter. (Save the centers to bake later.)
Place a hard candy (we used Jolly Ranchers) in the center of each heart and bake until the cookies start to brown lightly around the edges and the candy is melted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. To prevent sticking, line your serving plate or tin with waxed paper and place additional waxed paper between layers.
Makes 30.
