Are you baking cookies for the holidays this year? We’ve found 25 delicious recipes that are perfect for the season.
Whether you’re looking to fill your Christmas cookie platter or create sweet little holiday treat boxes, you’re sure to find several recipes here that fit the bill.
Some of my best Christmas memories are of all the sweet treats that seemed to be around during the holidays when I was a kid.
My grandma did so much baking–every kind of cookie, and even homemade candy, you can think of. And, we were there to watch, sometimes help, and always enjoy the delicious results!
I know it’s easier to pick up pre-made treats from the store, but baking cookies for the holidays with your little ones is a great way to make lasting memories.
You don’t have to make every cookie recipe in your cookbook or anything complicated or fancy. Just making a simple batch of cookies together is a wonderful holiday tradition that I know your child will always remember and appreciate.
Here are 25 cookie recipes we’ve rounded up to give you some ideas. Enjoy, and happy holidays!
