NEW ZEALAND HOLLY COOKIES

Almost too pretty a cookie to eat, but they taste so good! I actually won first prize for these cookies when I was a girlscout at age 13. Although I am unsure of the origin of the recipe, I thought it was too good to keep to myself. If you're creative and are up for a challenge, this is a perfect recipe for you.

HOLLY BERRY COOKIES

I enjoy making these delectable treats for Christmas, along with the help of my husband. After I prepare the cookies and place them on a baking sheet, my husband then tops each with the Red Hots Cinnamon Candies. We love these no-bake cookie treats, they are colorful, festive, and delicious!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
30 large marshmallows
1-1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. green food coloring
4 cups corn flakes cereal
Red Hots cinnamon candies, to garnish cookies

Steps:

  • 1. Line 2 large baking sheets with wax paper; then set sheets aside.
  • 2. In a large kettle or Dutch oven, add the butter. (I used a 5-quart Teflon coated Dutch oven.)
  • 3. Melt the butter over low heat, then add the marshmallows; stirring constantly until the marshmallows have melted completely.
  • 4. Remove kettle from heat, and add the vanilla extract and food coloring; stirring until the food coloring has blended well into the melted marshmallow mixture.
  • 5. Drop mixture, one heaping tablespoon at a time onto the wax paper; spacing them at least 1-inch apart, then decorate each with 2-3 red hots cinnamon candies (quickly before they set).
  • 6. Allow cookies to set on the wax paper for a few hours, so they will harden.
  • 7. To store cookies, place them in an air tight container with a lid.
  • 8. Note: When I display the cookies on a platter, I keep them intact on the wax paper. If giving cookies to others, I cut closely around the wax paper and cookies with a scissors. And when ready to eat the cookies, just peel off the wax paper.
