Tips
Making Cornflake Wreath Christmas Cookies With Kids
To successfully make Cornflake Wreath Cookies with kids, use mini marshmallows, which will melt faster than the jet-puffed variety. Add small amounts of cereal to the marshmallow mixture at a time to ensure an even coating. Your kids can do the mixing—just be sure they stir gently to avoid breaking up the cereal too much. To keep the gooey cornflake mixture from sticking to the cookie cutter, spray the exterior of the cookie cutter with a non-stick cooking spray, such as PAM.
