Make an Edible Gingerbread Cookie Wreath

I think this wreath is just as pretty as it is practical – you could hang it on a window or doorway and enjoy its festive look and scent, and then eat it when you want to! This would be a fun way to present cookies to your neighbor at Christmas, too.

To make this edible gingerbread cookie wreath, I first made a batch of my family’s favourite gingerbread cookies and cut them into snowflake shapes.

When the cookies are cool, ice snowflake patterns on them with the icing sugar and a piping bag. If you’re making a wreath, reserve some icing.

To make the wreath form, cut out a circle from some thick cardboard.

Use the reserved royal icing to attach the snowflake cookies to the wreath form. This stuff will hold like cement once it’s dry!

I overlapped my cookies slightly and I found that dabbing the icing on the backs of the cookies like pictured worked best. Continue overlapping and attaching cookies with the royal icing to your wreath form until it’s filled. Add some ribbon and/or a strip of fabric onto your wreath and – voila! Your festive Christmas wreath is ready to enjoy…and then to eat.
