Christmas Mini Shortbread Wreath Cookies
Christmas Mini Shortbread Wreath Cookies
The Christmas Mini Shortbread Wreath from Cookies United is a vanilla shortbread cookie coated in frosting and topped with festive nonpareils, packed in a 5 lb bulk box at about 50 cookies per pound. It comes finished and ready to serve. We stock it in bulk and wholesale for bakeries, delis, caterers, grocery bakery counters, and foodservice.
At 50 pieces to the pound this is the highest-count cookie in the Cookies United Christmas line, which makes it the piece to reach for when a case has to cover a lot of trays.
Shortbread in a Mini Format
Shortbread is defined by a high proportion of fat to flour, which limits gluten development and produces the dense, fine, crumbling texture that sets the style apart from a soft cookie or a sugar cookie.
Scaling that texture down to a mini piece changes how it eats. A full-size shortbread crumbles as you break it, while a mini goes in whole, so the sandy texture registers as it dissolves rather than as a piece that falls apart in the hand. It is a tidier cookie for standing service and passed trays.
The Frosting and Nonpareil Finish
The cookie is coated in frosting rather than drizzled or dusted, giving the wreath a full smooth surface, and festive nonpareils go on over it while the coating is still able to hold them.
Full coverage matters more on a small cookie than a large one. There is less surface to work with, so a partial finish reads as sparse, while a coated piece looks deliberate and finished at any size.
The Case Math at 50 Per Pound
Fifty cookies per pound puts a 5 lb case at roughly 250 pieces, which is more than double what the large-format shortbread wreath in the same line yields.
That changes how the case gets used. One box covers a long catering run, fills a grab-and-go program for weeks, or supplies the volume slot in a mixed assortment where a bakery needs quantity without a per-piece cost that only a handful of trays can absorb.
Building a Tray Around Small Pieces
Mini cookies do specific work on an assortment. They fill the gaps that larger irregular shapes leave open, they let a customer take three or four different varieties without committing to three or four full cookies, and they make a tray look fuller at the same weight.
The wreath shape earns its place here too. An open ring reads as holiday from across a room, which a small round or square piece cannot do at this size.

Allergen Information
Contains Wheat, Egg, Soy, and Milk. Processed in a plant that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Contains bioengineered food ingredients.
Kosher Certification
Certified Kosher Dairy.
Storage and Handling
Store dry at room temperature on a cool shelf. Shortbread carries a high fat content, and warmth softens the crumb and costs the cookie the clean dissolve that defines the style.
Keep the box closed between uses. Small coated pieces shipped loose settle against each other in the case, and a cool dry shelf keeps the frosting firm so the nonpareils stay where they were placed.
Bulk and Wholesale Options
Comes in a 5 lb bulk box, about 50 cookies per pound. Available in bulk and wholesale for bakeries, caterers, grocery counters, and anyone moving holiday cookie volume. Quantity pricing available.
Sourcing and Production
Manufactured by Cookies United in the USA.
