Christmas Cookie Recipe

Here's one Tweety,

1/2 cup unsalted butter
30 large marshmallows
1 1/2 teaspoon liquid green food coloring
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups cornflakes
2 tablespoons cinnamon red-hot candies

Melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and melt them over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth (about 6 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the food coloring and vanilla until the mixture is well blended. Stir in the cornflakes until well coated. Keep the mixture warm by placing the saucepan in a large pot or skillet filled with 1 inch of very hot tap water. Replace the water as it cools.

Working quickly to keep the mixture from hardening before it is shaped, use two spoons (coated with nonstick vegetable spray) or lightly greased fingers, to drop heaping tablespoon-sized mounds of the cornflake mixture onto waxed paper sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

Immediately, while the wreaths are still sticky, decorate them with the cinnamon red-hot candies. (Five candies, equally spaced around the wreaths like star points, give the best look.) When the wreaths dry, you may string them with nylon string or gold ribbons and use them as tree ornaments.

For eating, these cookies stay fresh about a month, stored in an airtight container. (Be sure not to store them until they are completely cool.) They'll last indefinitely as tree ornaments

Katelyn, that was quick. Sound good, but I am not a fan of red hots, HUM wonder what a substitute would be .

Those sound good! Wasnt there one where you use cornflakes and the red hots?

Tweety, the recipe above calls for corn fakes and red hots

I don't like the red hots either, maybe you can use red skittles or M$M's LOL!

Yeah M&M's

I swear I'm losing my mind.......I was thinking something else...Sorry :oops:

LOL

lol Tweety. My mom used to make those when I was little. I made them for the first time myself last year (brought back memories) but depending on the size you make them the regular sized m&m's may be too big but the m&m minis would be a good size. The only problem I had when I used the red hots was that they kept falling off :x But I didn't care because they were just for us anyway. I think I ate half of them myself :oops: lol They are so easy to make.

Those do sound very good. I'm making cookies for my agents at work for Christmas, and I think these will be perfect. :) I never heard this recipe before.
