How to Make Easy Christmas Cookies

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the margarine over low heat. Stir occasionally.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows to the melted margarine and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Reduce heat as needed to prevent burning.
  3. Remove from heat and gently stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Add the Christmas-colored M&Ms or sprinkles; stir gently to combine.
  5. Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls.
  6. Place the cookies on wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool and set completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
