Gluten-Free Christmas Cornflake Wreath Cookies (Made Healthier)
Growing up, we made a lot of different cookies at Christmas time, and these little Christmas cornflake wreath cookies were always my favorite. Basically a fancy version of a rice crispy bar, but made with cornflakes instead. These may be simple to make, but they really do impress! You might want to double the batch and freeze some for backup. We almost always run out!
Christmas Cornflake Wreath Cookies
These are so much fun to make with the kiddos during the holiday season. Just a few simple ingredients are all you need to whip up a batch of festive wreath cookies.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter plus more to grease your hands
- 8 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 tsp green food coloring food-based coloring
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 cups gluten-free cornflake cereal
- 1 bag cinnamon red hot candies
Instructions
- Cover your countertop in parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
- Once melted, add the marshmallows. Stirring constantly.
- Once they’re mostly melted, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until completely combined.
- Spoon mixture onto the parchment and form them into the desired wreath shape with your butter greased hands. Work carefully, it can be hot!
- Finish with a couple of cinnamon candies for decoration.
- Allow to dry completely and they will hold their shape.
- Store in an airtight container. I layered with parchment paper strips between them so they don’t stick to each other.
