Instructions
Prep the Pan: Start by greasing a standard pizza pan. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on your cookie dough packaging.
Shape the Wreath: Spread your cookie dough evenly on the pan.
Bake & Cool: Bake as directed. This is the hardest part: let it cool completely. If the cookie is even slightly warm, your frosting will melt into a sugary puddle.
The "Snow" Layer: Generously spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cookie wreath.
Decorate: This is where you get creative. Arrange your berries over the frosting. You can do concentric circles, clusters, or a "wild" scattered look.
Add your Greenery: Tuck in sprigs of fresh mint to give it that authentic greenery look.
The Finishing Touches: Right before serving, use a sifter to dust the entire wreath with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
