I adapted this recipe from plain shortbread to use for a cookie exchange. The wreaths are big sellers at bake sales. Since they're so quick and easy to prepare. I'm happy to share them at the holidays with teachers, friends and neighbors. — Donna Gendre, Stettler, Alberta

Dough was very sticky; had to add more powdered sugar and flour. Make sure the surface that you roll it out on is powdered really well, or they stick a lot. Also, I would chill them longer than a half hour. Once they are workable, they really do look nice though. Make sure you space the pieces just so they're not touching, so that when they bake they connect. It looks better when you just cut them out again after baking. Also, don't wait until they're completely cool to cut them, just give them a minute or two to set. Overall these are very pretty though, and they taste good too!

I've made this cookie several years in a row when it first appeared in the TOH magazine. Somehow I lost it and am so glad to find it here. Great presentation and makes two so one to share and one to keep.

I tried this recipe when it first came out on the cover of one of the Christmas issues a few years ago. I love how it looks, but I failed miserably putting it together. I remember when I cut out the wedges, the lifter pulled the dough, and I had a hard time getting them transferred to the cookie sheet off the lifter, so the shapes were deformed. How can you get them to transfer to a cookie sheet without messing up the shape? Would it be easier to put a piece of parchment on the sheet and roll out the dough there, cut the shapes and pull off the excess dough? Also, my sprinkles melted during cooking, so the colours bled into the dough. It was awful. Any suggestions on how to make this wreath look perfect? I would try it again if I was sure I would be successful.
