Description

Christmas wreath cookies made with cornflakes and decorated with cinnamon candies are fun holiday treats! Get your kids to help decorate them!

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
30 large marshmallows
1 1/2 teaspoons green food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups cornflakes cereal
2 tablespoons cinnamon red hot candies

Directions

1 Gather ingredients.
2 Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows, and cook stirring constantly, until melted.
3 Remove from the heat, stir in food coloring and vanilla, then stir in cornflakes.
4 Set out one or two sheets of waxed paper. Fill a skillet with 1 inch of very hot water. Place the saucepan into the skillet so cookie dough stays warm.
5 Quickly drop a heaping tablespoonful of cookie dough onto the waxed paper, and use lightly greased fingers to form it into a wreath shape. Immediately decorate cookie with red hot candies. Repeat to shape and decorate remaining cookies.
6 Allow cookies to cool to room temperature before removing from waxed paper, about 15 minutes. Store in an airtight container.
