The Ultimate Christmas Cookie Recipe Roundup

In the 10+ years I’ve been blogging, let’s just say I’ve made a lot of cookies. It’s one of the most populous categories (not to mention popular), and for good reason!

Cookies. Are. The. Best.

In honor of cookie season, I’ve gathered some of my favorite holiday cookie recipes from over the years. It’s not all of them (for that you’ll want to check out the cookie recipe category), but these are the favorites I’ve deemed most holiday appropriate.

(Also, before I get any hate mail, while the image above is fun and festive and perfect for the intro to this ultimate recipe roundup, those cute little star cookies are certainly NOT homemade. Shame. Truthfully though, I’ve been known to buy store-bought cookies on occasion, and these little shortbread stars from Trader Joe’s are one of my seasonal favorites. That’s reality for you.)

So whether you’re shipping cookie boxes to far-away relatives, taking a tray of freshly baked goodies to a holiday shindig, or leaving a plate out for Santa, I’ve got you covered.

Now, on to the recipes (hold on to your Santa hats!)
