if to wet add flour as needed until it stretches easily and molds well.
3

refridgerate dough for an hour.

this will not stick to your countertop or hands as it is greasy. so no additional flour is needed on surface in order to roll this out.

grab a small ball of dough and gently with 2 hands roll the dough into long thin logs about the size of a #2 pencil in width and 12 inches long.
7

cut the 12 inch long in half.

twist the rolls around each other.
10

shape the twist into a circle and pinch all ends together. this form your wreath..

14

u can use any xmas type sprinkles, green & red sugar crystals, red dots, green sprinkles, red sprinkles, nonparalels, small shapes.. this section u will see all the different designs I made with the sprinkles. click on pic to see directions for that design.
15

just to let u know.. these cookies are time consuming because of the rolling, twisting and decorating. but they are so cute and so pretty and really decorate up a table so it well worth it.. oh and the flavor.. is awesome!
