I have made these for years too. They are so festive and everyone is delighted. This week I made the recipe for a party and formed it into one giant wreath on a foil-lined baking sheet. I couldn't find the cinnamon baking candies, so I used red M&Ms. Also, I use sugar-frosted flakes for a sweeter taste. -
A must have cookie at our house on Christmas Eve. It is such a pretty addition to the cookie tray. Have made these for years and never figured out to keep the pan in hot water. Brilliant! Thank you
