Equipment
- Large cookie sheet
- Aluminum foil
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury brand Original Cinnamon Rolls This type is recommended for easier preparation of the center holes for the wreaths.
- 1 tub frosting The white frosting that's included with the cinnamon rolls
- 3-4 drops food coloring I used green
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- sugar sprinkles Optional: red and green
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (or 375 degrees F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets).
- Next, spray the cookie sheet with cooking oil and arrange the cinnamon rolls on it, with the cinnamon topping facing up, and about an inch apart.
- Using a butter knife, poke a half-inch hole in the center of each cinnamon roll.
- Fill each hole with an approximately 3x3" crumbled piece of aluminum foil to maintain the wreath shape while baking.
- Make 3 to 4 gentle half-inch slits around each cinnamon roll to add decorative dimension to your mini wreaths so they don’t just look like doughnuts. Be careful not to slice all the way through the dough.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls according to the package instructions (13-17 minutes, or until golden brown).
- While the cinnamon rolls are baking, add 3-4 drops of green food coloring to the included frosting and stir until it turns completely green.
- Once the cinnamon rolls are done baking, remove them from the oven and take out the aluminum foil from the center holes.
- Use a small spatula to spread the prepared green frosting over the rolls.
- Add three dried cranberries to each roll for a holly-berry appearance.
- Optional: Lightly sprinkle the frosted rolls with red and green sugar sprinkles, then serve them warm, and enjoy!
