Holly Cookies

, This is one of my children’s favorite Christmastime cookie. They are so easy to make. I decorate mine with 3 pieces of red hot cinnamon candies on each cookie so it resembles wreaths of holly, although I must admit, the younger kids usually pick off the candies

Ingredients

  • 30 large marshmallows

  • 1 stick butter

  • 2 teaspoons green food coloring

  • 3 cup corn flakes

  • red hot cinnamon candies (optional)

Directions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter and marshmallows together.
  • Add food coloring, stirring well
  • Add corn flakes, stir well and remove from heat.
  • Working quickly, drop Tablespoon size amounts from a buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Add 3 red cinnamon candies to each cookie so it resembles holly.
  • This mixture cools quickly, so you must work fast.
  • Leave on paper until cookies are no longer “wet”

Notes

  • I usually double this recipe. 1 bag of marshmallows is enough for a double batch.
