Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Festive Christmas Wreath Cookies.
Step 1
Start by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking experience.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, allowing it to become beautifully liquid.
Step 3
Once the butter is melted, add in the marshmallows and stir continuously until they transform into a velvety, smooth mixture.
Step 4
When everything is melted and combined, take the saucepan off the heat.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to add a splash of fun! Stir in the green food coloring and vanilla extract, mixing until the color is vibrant and the flavors are well blended.
Step 6
Gently fold in the cornflakes, making sure each flake is coated in that delightful marshmallow goodness.
Step 7
To keep your mixture warm while you work, prepare a couple of sheets of waxed paper on your countertop.
Step 8
Fill a skillet with about an inch of very hot water and place the saucepan in it.
Step 9
This will keep your mixture at the perfect consistency.
Step 10
Using a heaping tablespoon, scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture and drop them onto the waxed paper.
Step 11
With lightly greased fingers, shape each spoonful into a charming wreath.
Step 12
Don’t forget to decorate each wreath with cinnamon red hot candies for that festive touch! Continue shaping and decorating until you’ve used up all the mixture.
Step 13
Once you’ve created your delightful wreaths, let them cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Step 14
After they’ve set, carefully peel them off the waxed paper.
Step 15
To keep your delicious creations fresh, store them in an airtight container.

Enjoy the sweet, nostalgic flavors of your homemade treats!.
