To save steps on the wreath, use a sugar-cookie mix or ready-to-bake dough.
Fall-Colored Cookie Dough Making the Cookies: Make enough dough for 48 three-inch cookies. Divide into four batches and tint each with food coloring. Create a multicolored patchwork by pressing pieces from each batch together on lightly floured parchment paper. Smooth with rolling pin. Chill for 15 minutes, then cut out cookies.
Sugar-Sprinkled Leaf Cookies Before Baking: Create leaf veins with a toothpick, then sprinkle with sanding sugar, available at candylandcrafts.com. And make extra cookies to snack on, in order to prevent "sampling" from the wreath while it's still on display.
Making Cookie Wreath Making the Wreath: Cut two wreath forms from sturdy cardboard and glue them together. Tie hanging wire around wreath, then "glue" on cookies with dollops of colored royal icing. Pour into zippered food bag; snip a corner to dispense. Let dry for several hours before hanging.
