Description

Celebrate the holiday season with these festive Christmas Wreath Cookies! Made from pinwheel cookies dipped in luscious green melting chocolate and adorned with Twizzlers bows and colorful sprinkles, these charming treats are perfect for holiday parties or gifting.


Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 12 oz package of Pinwheel Cookies

Decorations

  • 2 oz Twizzlers Pull and Peel (12 individual strings)
  • 6 oz Green Melting Chocolate Wafers (about half a bag)
  • Green and Red Christmas Sprinkles


Instructions

  1. Freeze the Cookies: Place the 12 oz package of pinwheel cookies in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm them up to make decorating easier.
  2. Prepare the Twizzlers Bows: Separate the 2 oz Twizzlers Pull and Peel into 12 individual strings. Tie each string into a small bow using the bunny ear method and set aside.
  3. Melt the Green Chocolate: Melt the 6 oz green melting chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Be careful not to overheat; the chocolate should be just melted and smooth.
  4. Dip the Cookies: Remove the cookies from the freezer. Hold each pinwheel cookie upside down and dip the top into the melted green chocolate to coat it evenly. Place the dipped cookie on a cooling rack to let excess chocolate drip off.
  5. Decorate the Wreaths: While the chocolate is still wet, place one Twizzlers bow on top of each cookie. Sprinkle the remaining surface with green and red Christmas sprinkles to add festive color. Let the chocolate harden before handling.

Notes

  • Store the decorated cookies wrapped in plastic and keep refrigerated. They stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Use a cooling rack to let excess chocolate drip off for a cleaner finish.
  • The bunny ear method is a simple way to make neat and uniform bows with Twizzlers strings.
