Christmas Wreath Cookies
Description
Christmas Wreath Cookies start by melting butter and marshmallows together, then adding green food coloring and vanilla extract to create a sweet, sticky mixture. Cornflakes are folded in to coat evenly, then the mixture is pressed into small wreath shapes using a greased measuring cup. Red candies are added as decorations to mimic holly berries, enhancing the holiday theme.
The candies provide a contrasting crunch and color to the crisp cornflakes binding together with the soft, chewy marshmallow base. Allowing the wreaths to cool and firm up completely makes them easy to handle and serve as a festive sweet snack or party treat.
These cookies require no baking, making them quick to assemble. They are visually attractive as seasonal decorations or edible gifts.
Ingredients
- 1 butter 1/2 cup, stick
- 30 marshmallows large
- 6 drops Green Gel Food Coloring or 1 and 1/4 teaspoons liquid green food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 cups cornflakes
- 1 red hot candies such as mini M&M's, or red candy coated chocolates
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the marshmallows and butter in a large bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until melted.
- Add the green food coloring and vanilla; stir until the marshmallow mixture is smooth.
- Add the cornflakes to the bowl and gently stir to coat the cereal evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
- Pack the mixture into a greased 1/4 cup measuring cup and turn out onto the sheet pan. Use your fingers to make a hole in the middle to form a wreath shape and decorate with red candies. It's easiest to form the wreath holes if your fingers are damp or coated in cooking spray.
- Cool completely until firm and serve.
