    Christmas Shortbread Wreaths

    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

    Re: Christmas Shortbread Wreaths

    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.
