Christmas Wreath Cookies

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix sugar cookie dough according to the directions on the back of the package. And add the extra 1/3 cup flour and food coloring. Chill the dough for 15 minutes.

Cut or pinch a piece, approximately 2 Tbsp. Roll the piece into a log/rope about 6 inches long. It should be about the thickness of your finger. Then form into a circle and gently pinch the ends together.

Lay on a parchment-lined cookie sheet or nonstick baking sheet.
Take a pair of kitchen shears and make a cut halfway into the dough starting at twelve o-clock. Continue making tiny cuts all the way around the dough ring.

Repeat these steps with the remaining cookie dough. Bake for 12-14 minutes.

Remove from oven and let them cool. While cooling, mix all the ingredients for the icing together in a small bowl and have your holly sprinkles ready.

Once cooled, use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the cookies. Then before the icing starts to harden, put a cluster of 3 holly berries, and two leaves in 2-3 places around the cookie.
