Ring in the holiday season with these tender bell-shaped bites. They used cookie cutters and whole chive "hangers" to form the warm and appetizing ornaments, which get a slight kick from red pepper flakes. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

3-1/4 cups biscuit/baking mix
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup heavy whipping cream
12 whole chives

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, cheese, minced chives and pepper flakes. Stir in cream just until moistened.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 8-10 times. Pat to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. bell-shaped cookie cutter. Using a 1/2-in. round cookie cutter, cut a hole near top of each biscuit.
Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 450° until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Remove to wire racks. Thread one whole chive through each biscuit hole; tie a knot. Serve warm.
