To prepare a sugar cookie wreaths cookies recipe, first you need to gather your ingredients. You'll need: 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until just combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Press the mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool before removing from the pan.
