Holly Rings

These are family favorites !  I’ve used a lot of cookie presses over the years, but my favorite is still the old SAWA from Sweden that I bought about 40 years ago.  Don’t know if they still make it, but it is the best!

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 and 1/4 cup flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • Green sugar
  • Red cinnamon candies

Cream butter and sugar together, add the egg yolk and extract.  Mix flour and baking powder together and add it in.

Using your cookie press and the disc that looks like a wreath, form cookies directly onto a lightly greased cookie sheet or use a silicone mat.  Decorate the cookies with green sugar and red cinnamon candies to look like wreaths.  Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
