To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture into the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Add a few drops of green food coloring to one part and mix until the desired color is reached. Roll out the green dough into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick, on a floured surface. Repeat with the plain dough.
Place the green dough on top of the plain dough and use a cookie cutter to cut out your wreath shape. Use a smaller cookie cutter to create a hole in the center of the wreath for hanging.
Transfer the wreath onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the wreath cool completely before decorating.
Once the wreath has cooled, it's time to get creative with the decorations! Use the red and white icing to create the look of a Christmas bow on the top of the wreath. Then, add your favorite holiday candies and sprinkles all around the wreath to give it a festive touch.
Let the icing set for a few minutes before hanging your taste of home Christmas wreath for everyone to admire. Not only will it look beautiful, but it will also taste delicious!
