Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • Cookies:
  • 1 box Pillsbury Purely Simple White Cake Mix (or the chocolate cake mix!)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 C. oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Green Frosting:
  • 3/4 C. butter (softened)
  • 2-3 C. powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • green food dye
  • Fruit by the Foot (the Target store brand is best because it's not as wide, and they don't come with designs cut into them)
  • red candies (mini M&M's, red hots, or sprinkles)

Instruction

  • 1. Preheat oven to 335 degrees and line pans with parchment paper.
  • 2. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. The dough will be thick so you can either mix it by hand to get a workout or use a mixer.
  • 3. Scoop out dough balls the size of walnuts and lightly flatten onto the pan. (Just a gentle pan will do to keep them from baking up too tall.)
  • 4. Bake for 8-12 minutes.
  • 5. Let cool.
  • 6. Frosting: Beat butter and 2 cups powdered sugar. Add more powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency. Add vanilla extract and green food dye.
  • 7. Pipe frosting on in a circle to create your wreath (piping tip shown in photo).
  • 8. Use your Fruit by the Foot to make bows and then place those on top of the cookie wreath. Finish off with red candies for your "berries."
