The holiday season is the best time of year for many reasons but, for my fellow Collegiettes who have a major sweet tooth, that reason is desserts. Christmas cookies are an essential food group throughout this whole season, if I do say so myself. They can be big or small; super sugary, chocolaty, or even topped with a mountain of frosting!
Here are the 10 best cookies to make this holiday season:
1. Chewy Gingersnap Cookies
Chewy, sugary, delicious, and a classic as well. Get the recipe here!
2. Salted Peanut Butter Shortbread
How can you not love peanut butter flavored anything (unless you have allergies)? These salted peanut butter shortbread cookies are to die for. Here is the recipe!
3. Gingerbread Men
Gingerbread men were a staple during our childhoods, and they still can be for young adults. The fun in decorating these little men never gets old. Continue the magic with this recipe!
4. Red Velvet Melting Snowman
In my opinion, red velvet anything is absolutely scrumptious – especially with these cute snowman designs!
5. Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
Your grandma’s classic oatmeal-raisin cookies are perfect for the holidays because they make you feel as if you are being healthy while eating something that tastes so good.
6. Chocolate Brownie Cookies
A chocolate cookie and a brownie? The best relationship there could be in a dessert. Our hearts are melting over here!
7. Lemony Slice Cookies
Lemony slice and everything nice with a splash of sprinkles.
8. Red Velvet Cream Cheese Thumbprint Cookies
Ahh look at that, another red velvet number. These are even better with some cream cheese frosting imbedded within the cookie. No need to go to Cheesecake Factory when you can make these bad boys.
9. Christmas Tree Cookies
You can customize this Christmas cookie any way you’d like, as long as you decorate the Christmas Tree shape of it with pride!
10. Chocolate Chip Cookies
You cannot go through a holiday season without the most classic and beloved cookie of all time… Chocolate Chips will never die.
