How to Make It

Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat, add the marshmallows, and stir until completely melted. Stir in the vanilla and enough green food coloring for a deep wreath green, then fold in the cornflakes until every flake is coated. Working quickly with greased hands, drop spoonfuls onto parchment and shape each into a wreath with a hole in the middle. Press three red hots onto each one for berries and let them set.

Tips for the Best Christmas Wreath Cookies

• Keep the heat low. Melt the marshmallows gently.
• Coat every flake. Fold until it’s all green.
• Work quickly. The mixture is easiest to shape while warm.
• Grease your hands. It keeps the mixture from sticking.
• Let them set. 30 minutes before serving.
