Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup flour
  • 1 18 oz. roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 1½ cups prepared vanilla frosting
  • 3 cups M&M’S® Milk Chocolate Candies Holiday Blend
  • 4 strands red licorice laces
  • Resealable plastic bags
  • Drinking straw
  • Christmas light shaped cookie cutter (small)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Knead the flour into the cookie dough until smooth.
  3. Roll the dough out to ¼-inch thickness. Then cut out mini light-bulb shaped-cut-outs by hand, or by using a Christmas light cookie cutter.
  4. With a spatula, gently transfer the cookies to a baking sheet. Using a drinking straw, press a hole at the top of each cookie.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until light brown. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  6. Separate different colors of M&M’S® Brand Minis Chocolate Candies, and set aside.
  7. Spread vanilla frosting on top of each cookie. Arrange a solid color of M&M’S® Brand Minis Chocolate Candies on top of each cookie.
  8. Let the cookies dry for 30 minutes. Run licorice laces (or a red ribbon) through each hole, connecting the cookies into one continuous strand, to depict a light series.
