Holly Cookies

Nothing says Christmas to me like Holly Cookies.
My mom made these every year for our neighbor treats.  They are so cute and festive plus delicious and gooey.  No baking required, just mix up and drop.  So easy!
10 oz. miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
2-4 Tbs. green food coloring (depending on how dark you want them)
2 tsp. vanilla
6 cups Cornflakes

*Melt together first four ingredients and stir until all green.
Add 6 cups Cornflakes and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper and put 3 red hots on each cookie.  Let cook before moving onto plates.

  1. These so remind me of your mom. She used to bring them to us every year on a goody plate and my kids would always fight over them! Good memories!

  4. I might have to try these, I have never had them or seen them. I guess I have lived a shelter life. I think you have a typo, you wrote cook instead of cool.
