Christmas Cookies II – Snow Mini Wreath Cookies

This modern and delicious cookie consists of a meringue top in the shape of a wreath, a delicious peach preserve, and a perfect vanilla bottom. All parts of this cookie complement each other and together create a one-of-a-kind cookie that will be like nothing you have ever seen. You will prepare all parts of the cookie totally from scratch, including the preserve. While preparing these cookies, you will practice multiple cooking techniques that can be later used in other baking and cooking.

Note: Suitable for vegetarians.
