This gorgeous cookie wreath can be made by decorating your favorite snowflake cookies, and attaching them in layers to a cake board using royal icing. Try using shiny silver dragees, shimmering edible glitter, or a classic sanding or sparkling sugar. Hang with a festive bow and this masterpiece is sure to please!

I will be making snowflake cookies, however, I am wondering what would be the best cookie dough to use for these fragile cutouts?

I was thinking of using a shortbread but wonder if it will be too fragile and flaky for this application.

Thanks, and I look forward to recommendations.

I would think the best recipe would be gingerbread – the cookies could be baked and left to harden until quite firm. Good luck!

This is so beautiful! I think I might give this a try for a present for my mother in law. What a beautiful idea!
