These Christmas Wreath Cookies are as joyful to make as they are to serve. Crisp-edged sugar cookies form the perfect base for fluffy green buttercream, piped into beautiful wreath shapes and finished with colorful candies that sparkle like holiday ornaments. They’re a show-stopping addition to cookie trays, dessert tables, and holiday gift boxes, and they instantly bring Christmas cheer to any gathering.
The cookie dough itself is buttery and tender, sturdy enough to hold detailed piping while still melting in your mouth. The green icing is rich, smooth, and easy to work with, making it ideal for creating that classic wreath texture. Decorating is where the fun really begins — each cookie can be unique, letting kids and adults alike get creative with colors and designs.
