Christmas Cornflake Wreath Cookies

These cornflake wreath cookies are fun, festive, and incredibly kid-friendly. Not only will your little ones love eating the wreath cookies, they'll enjoy helping you mix up the ingredients and "decorating" their sweet creations.

Tip from recipe creator Sharon P: If you don’t have a microwave, place the marshmallows and butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until marshmallows and butter are melted, about 5 minutes.

“Been making these for years with my mother-in-law,” says kimberlee. “She has been making these since she was a kid in the 1920s. They are a wonderful way to have the kids and grandkids make something fun in the kitchen and they love to eat them!”

“As wreaths, they are pretty on a cookie plate,” according to mizrich. “For gift giving and family gatherings, I just make them in a 13×9-inch pan and cut them into squares or shapes. Fun to change up the colors, depending on the occasion….baby showers, graduations, etc.”

“I’ve had many Christmas Wreath Cookies in my day, but these beat all,” raves Lacey Enger. “I really liked the almond flavoring! I omitted the vanilla, but next time, I’ll try that as well. They were easy to make, and VERY yummy!”
