Description
A recipe for Christmas Holly Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 (14-ounce) bag M&M'S Milk Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
  
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  
• 1 (18-ounce) roll refrigerated cookie dough
  
• 1 (16-ounce) can vanilla frosting
  
• Green food coloring

Preparation
Prep time: 20 minutes | Baking time: 12 to 17 minutes | Decoration time: 20 minutes

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Knead flour into cookie dough until smooth. Roll out dough to scant 1/4-inch thickness. Cut out 18 holly-leaf shaped cookies, re-rolling scraps if necessary. Transfer cookies to prepared cookie sheets.

Bake 12 to 17 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven, transfer to wire rack and let cool completely.

Tint frosting green. Spoon into resealable plastic bag; snip 1 lower corner. Pipe outlines on the cookies, then fill in outlines with tight zigzag pattern. On about half of cookies, spread frosting smooth with small spatula or table knife.

Attach a few green M&M'S to cookie tops, then place 3 red candies as berries on leaf tips. Arrange cookies on serving platter, overlapping slightly, in shape of wreath.
