20+ Christmas Cookie Recipes
Ohhhh boy, Christmas is nearly here! Now is the time to make ALL. THE. SWEETS!! In this post I’ve pulled together all my recipes for cookies (and bars, brownies, and more!) so you can finalize your baking plans! Each of these Christmas Cookie Recipes can be served alone, or make a variety and serve them up on a tray or pack them in gift boxes for friends and family!
I’ve separated the recipes out into a few categories:
- Cookies
- Bars & Brownies
- More!
I also added notes beneath each of my Christmas Cookie Recipes that can be made in advance! Make the recipe now, and thaw/finish when you need them! If you’re looking for more Christmasy recipes, check out my posts for Christmas Desserts and Christmas Breakfasts!
