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.
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.
