These festive treats can brighten any holiday gathering, from Hanukkah to New Year's and all the celebrations in between.

Ingredients

• Confectioners' sugar
• Flower cookie with a center hole (we used Murray shortbread cookies)
• Larger cookie (we used Anna's Ginger Thins)
• Rolled wafer cookie (we used Pepperidge Farm Pirouettes)

• Mini marshmallow
• Orange decorating sugar
• Red decorating gel

Instructions

1. Make a simple icing by stirring together 1 teaspoon water and 5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar.

2. Use dots of icing to attach a small flower cookie with a center hole to a larger cookie.

3. Dab icing on one end of a rolled wafer cookie and press it into the center of the flower cookie.

4. For the flame, halve a mini marshmallow diagonally, dip the sticky side of one half in orange decorating sugar, and attach the half with icing. Spoon a few wax drips of icing down the candle's sides and use red decorating gel to embellish the base.
