Classic Sugar Cookie Wreaths

Classic sugar cookie wreaths are festive and charming treats perfect for the holiday season. These cookies, shaped like wreaths, are soft, buttery, and can be decorated with colorful icing and sprinkles to resemble holiday greenery. They are not only delicious but also make a great addition to any Christmas cookie platter.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prep the Oven and Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined and set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
4. Add Eggs and Extracts: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and almond extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined and no flour pockets remain.
6. Color the Dough: Divide the dough into two portions. Add 4-6 drops of green food coloring to one portion and mix until a consistent color is achieved. If desired, you can adjust the color for a deeper shade.
7. Shape the Wreaths: Take a tablespoon-sized amount of the green dough and shape it into a ring, roughly 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Place the wreaths on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft to the touch.
9. Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Decorate: Once the cookies are cool, you can pipe royal icing onto the wreaths to create decorative designs and use sprinkles to resemble ornaments or festive greenery.
11. Store and Enjoy: Keep your decorated sugar cookie wreaths in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy them as part of your holiday festivities or share them with friends and family!

These treats are not only visually appealing but also perfect for festive gatherings, as they can be beautifully decorated and presented. Their soft texture and chocolate-mint balance make them a favorite for cookie platters.

No-Bake Coconut Wreaths

No-Bake Coconut Wreaths are a delightful holiday treat that brings the flavors of coconut and chocolate together without the need for baking. These easy-to-make cookies are light, chewy, and perfect for festive gatherings. Their charming wreath shape can be decorated to add a fun and festive touch to your holiday cookie platter.

Cooking Steps:

1. Prepare the Mixing Bowl: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. Shape the Wreaths: Using your hands, take a small portion of the mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into a ball. Then, gently press and mold it into a wreath shape by forming a ring with a hole in the center. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been shaped into wreaths.
3. Chill the Wreaths: Place the shaped wreaths on a parchment-lined tray. Once all the wreaths are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
4. Melt the Chocolate: While the wreaths are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
5. Dip the Wreaths: Once the wreaths have chilled, take them out of the refrigerator. Dip the top half of each wreath in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return them to the parchment-lined tray.
6. Decorate the Wreaths: While the chocolate is still soft, add festive decorations such as green food coloring, red and green sprinkles, or any other decorations you desire to create a holiday look.
7. Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Once set, your No-Bake Coconut Wreaths are ready to serve and enjoy!
