Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour 6 cups of Cornflakes into a large bowl and set aside.

  3. Add a teaspoon of green food coloring. Stir until the mixture is completely green
  4. Pour the green mixture on the cornflakes. Mix until the cornflakes are completely coated and green.
  5. Put Crisco on your fingers.
  6. Place a small handful of the cornflake mixture on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and form a wreath by making a hole in the center.
  7. Place three cinnamon drops near each other on the wreath.
  8. Repeat with the remaining cornflakes mixture. (Every once in awhile, put more Crisco on your fingers)
  9. Let the wreaths rest on the baking sheet until they are set, about 1 hour.

Notes

  • You can speed up the rest time by placing these cookies in the fridge until set.
  • You can place 3 cinnamon candies together for a Holly look, or spread them around the wreath.
