I don’t know about you, but every year our family has a tradition of making Christmas cookies. It’s especially fun for the kids who really enjoy get to decorate with frosting and sprinkles or whatever the recipe calls for.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favorite cookies that are either Christmas themed or are frequently served around this time of year.
Everyone has their own preference for what the best type of Christmas cookie is so we’ve tried to include all the favorites!
