Holiday time is so unbelievably exciting for me as I simply love baking just about anything, especially my favorite cookies. They are one of my go-to desserts to bring to a potluck or gathering. One yearly Holiday tradition that my friends and family count on, is they anxiously wait for a large container of my mixed homemade cookies. One year I was unable to do them, and I don’t think they’ve forgiven me yet. I do love gifting these items because they are so appreciated and everyone seems to adore my homemade treats.
With these 40 Christmas cookie recipes, you’re bound to find some you like! Although these are made for special occasions, they are perfect for any time. Great for snacks, or for a break with a nice cup of tea or coffee. I usually make a few batches and then place them in airtight containers for freezing, as they freeze beautifully. When unexpected company lands on your doorstep, you will always be prepared and have something to offer them. The perfect host!
