Christmas Wreath Cookies

Christmas Wreath Cookies

These can look like wreaths, or as I also made, clumps of ivy, but 'wreaths' sound better than 'clumps'. These are simple marshmallow cookies made with cornflakes though instead of rice krispies.

Servings 16 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter, (1/2 block / 1 stick)
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons green food coloring
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups corn flakes
  • red candies, 3-4 for each cookie

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with foil that is greased with butter, parchment paper, or wax paper.
  • Gather your ingredients, not shown is the extracts. For the red candies, I used some red pearls which are candy coated chocolate balls found in the cake decorating section in typical grocery stores. For the corn flakes, I used frosted flakes.
  • Add the butter and marshmallows to a double boiler and let the marshmallows and butter melt, stir together once in a while until until both are melted and combined.
  • Add the food coloring and extracts and stir to a uniform color.
  • Add the corn flakes and mix the marshmallow.
  • Drop by spoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet and make simple clumps or use 2-3 smaller spoonfuls and form wreaths. I made 3 wreaths and the rest clumps, the wreaths are time consuming.
  • Place 3-4 red candies on each wreath or clump. Lightly press each candy in place should help it stay in place.
  • Allow to cool fully then place on a serving tray. Serve and enjoy.
