• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 
  
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions:

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms

Divide the dough into two portions

Leave one portion as is and add green food coloring to the other portion, kneading until the color is evenly distributed

Cover both portions of dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

Take a small amount of green dough and roll it into a thin rope

Repeat with the plain dough

Twist the two ropes together to create a marbled effect and form a wreath shape on the prepared baking sheet

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove from the oven and immediately press red and white decorative candies onto the wreath to resemble berries and snowflakes

Allow the cookie wreath to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely

Once completely cool, you can hang the wreath on a door or wall using a festive ribbon

Enjoy your delicious Christmas cookie wreath!
