I have made these wreath cookies for years using just vanilla, the added flavor of the almond extract made this cookie one of my favorites. Very flavorful. TIP. put a little butter on your hands and keep your fingertips buttered , this makes the forming of the cookie much easier.

I find these messy to make and always hope I can get my daughter or daughter in law to make them. They are a family tradition passed down from my mother in law and loved by all.

Better even than the version my grandmother made because of the almond extract. Breaking the large cornflakes allows for smaller wreaths.
