Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups cornflakes cereal

Instructions:
- Melt the butter and marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Add the cornflakes: Remove the saucepan from the heat and gently fold in the cornflakes, making sure they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Shape the cookies: Working quickly, drop spoonfuls of the cornflake mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper. Use your fingers or a spoon to shape them into wreaths, mounds, or your preferred cookie shape.
- Decorate: Before the cookies set, sprinkle them with red and green sprinkles or press a few colored candies into each cookie for a festive touch.
- Cool and set: Allow the cookies to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
