It’s the time of the year for Christmas music, twinkle lights, the scent of pine, and best of all—the cookies! Of course, there are going to be pies, cakes, fudge, and other decadent desserts to indulge in, but nothing says Christmas and brings the holiday cheer quite like a belly full of festive cookies. Even Santa agrees—he carries around a bag full of loot to dish out to us all, in exchange for a plate of these wonders and a glass full of milk! So, if you’re heading to a holiday party and need a new recipe to “wow” your friends and family, wanting to add flair to the dessert table at Christmas dinner, or simply wanting to do something fun with the kids with a little sweetness, cookies are a winner. Check out our round-up of some killer recipes below. We’ve got something for everyone!
