Orange & Ginger Stained Glass Biscuits

So I'm doing a Christmas Calendar of Christmasy Foods.
Image result for Orange & ginger stained glass biscuits
Ingredients:
sunflower oil (for greasing)
175g plain flour, plus extra
1 tsp ground ginger
1 orange zest
100g butter (cold, cut into chunks)
50g golden caster sugar
1 tbsp milk
12 fruit-flavoured boiled sweets
Instructions:
 Pre-heat the oven t 160oC (fan).
Grease 2 non-stick baking sheet with Oil.
Combine the Flour, Ginger, Zest and Butter with 1/2 tsp Salt to create fine crumbs.
Add the Sugar and Milk.

Knead on a floured surface until smooth.
Wrap the kneaded dough in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.

Once chilled, flour a surface and roll out dough (it should be about the thickness of a pound coin).
Cut out desired shapes with cutters, remember to cut out smaller shapes inside the cut out shapes.
Poke a hole in the tops of shapes (So that they can be hung).
Transfer to the baking sheet.

Crush the sweets in their wrappers with a rolling pin.
Place the pieces into the holes in the middle of the biscuits.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the buscuits are golden and the sweets have melted.
Leave to cool and harden, then transfer to a rack.
Serve.
