Cookie Wreaths - Betty Crocker

Another one of the 12 days of Cookies from Betty Crocker is the Cookie Wreaths. Another fun way to get the kids involved in a project to help decorate, unless that it you just might be a bit of a perfectionist like me and want them to look picturesque ;)

Servings 24

Ingredients

1       pouch Betty Crocker® chocolate chip cookie mix
1/2    cup butter, softened
1        egg
                        
1        tablespoon Gold Medal® all-purpose flour 
                       
1         cup white vanilla baking chips (6 oz)
Assorted paste food colors*, if desired

  • Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool 3 minutes; use 1-inch round cookie cutter to cut out center of each cookie. Remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • In medium microwavable bowl, microwave white vanilla baking chips uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until chips can be stirred smooth. Divide among small bowls, and stir in food color(s) as desired. Dip top of each cookie wreath and cookie center into melted chips. Decorate with candy sprinkles as desired. Place on cooling rack until set, about 20 minutes. Store tightly covered.
