10 Must-Bake Holiday Cookies (Inspired by Pinterest)

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BU chapter.

The second Halloween ended, my “Happy Holidays” Pinterest board started to get a little out of hand. It’s currently filled with recipe after recipe of traditional Christmas Cookies for my winter break “to-bake” list. As soon as I get home, I’ll start blasting some Christmas carols throughout the kitchen, and transform these 10 recipes into delicious treats.

For anyone like myself who enjoys baking (or just likes eating baked goods!), I’ve put together a little checklist of must-bake cookies to whip out during the holidays!
