How To Make holly berry cookies

• Step 1
  Line 2 large baking sheets with wax paper; then set sheets aside.
• Step 2
  In a large kettle or Dutch oven, add the butter. (I used a 5-quart Teflon coated Dutch oven.)
• Step 3
  Melt the butter over low heat, then add the marshmallows; stirring constantly until the marshmallows have melted completely.
• Step 4
  Remove kettle from heat, and add the vanilla extract and food coloring; stirring until the food coloring has blended well into the melted marshmallow mixture.
• Step 5
  Drop mixture, one heaping tablespoon at a time onto the wax paper; spacing them at least 1-inch apart, then decorate each with 2-3 red hots cinnamon candies (quickly before they set).
• Step 6
  Allow cookies to set on the wax paper for a few hours, so they will harden.
• Step 7
  To store cookies, place them in an air tight container with a lid.
• Step 8
  Note: When I display the cookies on a platter, I keep them intact on the wax paper. If giving cookies to others, I cut closely around the wax paper and cookies with a scissors. And when ready to eat the cookies, just peel off the wax paper.
