7 Festively Sweet Holiday Cookies

Hi there e --

It's cookie season! One of my most favorite times of the year! It's when I get to bake all my favorite holiday cookies and try out some new ones. There's just something so festive about spending time in the kitchen baking trays of holiday cookies to share with friends and family. It always brings so much joy, for both the baker and the receiver!


Here are 7 of my favorite festively sweet holiday cookies. Happy cookie baking!

Making gingerbread cookies this holiday? This is the recipe for you! These cookies have a wonderfully traditional molasses and spice flavor, a tender texture that's not too hard, and the dough is a dream to work with. No spreading in the oven! Keep your cute shapes and neat edges!

The best gingerbread cookie recipe I've ever tried- these kept their neat edges while baking and didn't spread at all! Tons of flavor, and a really nice texture too that's not too hard to bite :)
