Stained Glass Cookies

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
8 ounces unsalted butter, melted (2 sticks)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
assorted colorful hard candies, crushed

Combine all ingredients together, except candies.
Shape dough into trees, candy canes, trees, etc -- whatever you like (hand formed or if you prefer, chill the dough and cut out with cookie cutters).
Cover cookies with crushed lollypops decoratively.
Bake on parchment lined cookie sheets in a preheated 350 F oven, about 8 minutes.
Allow to cool completely on pans before removing.
