How to Make Wreath Sugar Cookies

For the full directions and list of ingredients scroll to the bottom of the post for the printable recipe card. This is a quick visual walk through.

Step One: Bake Cookies

So you will work on baking up and allowing your cookies to cool. I did circle shaped cookies for this recipe.

Step Two: Twizzler Bows

So you will separate the Twizzler pull and peels and then take one of the strands you will tie in a bow. Do this with all the Twizzlers and set it to the side.

Step Three: Frost Cookies

Once the sugar cookies are fully done, you will then frost. I used a container of white frosting but you can use homemade frosting if you want.

Step Four: Decorate Cookies

Now you will place the green M&Ms in a circle around the edge of the sugar cookies. Then leave a small space at the top, to place the Twizzler bow you made.

Once decorated you are able to serve up the cookies or store them till you are ready.

Optional Variations to Try

Here are a handful of ways to change up these Christmas wreath cookies to change up the looks and even flavor of the Christmas cookie recipe.

Cookies – You can use chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, red velvet, etc. Feel free to use any flavor of cookie you would like.

Sprinkles – Consider using a few different Christmas sprinkles to add a fun look to your cookies. Find little bows, or fun shaped sprinkles to use to decorate a wreath on your cookies.

Frosting – Now, I used a classic white frosting. But consider changing up the frosting if you want. Add in almond extract, add color to the frosting, etc. Feel free to have fun with it. You could also color some of the frosting and pipe on a design instead of candies.

Colored Candies – Instead of M&M’s you can use Skittles, Sixlets, or another candy coated sweets. You can also use any colors of candies you want. I did green but feel free to try out different colors to alter the look of your cookies!

Storing Cookies

You will want to store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Make sure to place wax paper between layers if you plan to stack the cookies in the tray. This is going to prevent messing up the decorations as much and also prevent cookies from sticking together.

You may also freeze any cookies you don’t plan to eat. Just place in a freezer bag or freezer container. Then freeze for 3-4 months. Thaw on the counter when you are ready to eat.
