2. Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are great for any occasion, and you can shape/decorate them in pretty much any way possible. You can shape them like Christmas trees, snowflakes, snowmen, or anything else that is holiday-spirited!

3. Snickerdoodles

These cookies are great if you love cinnamon and sugar! They’re delicious and nutrituous.. Well, maybe not nutrituous, but Santa loves sweets!

4. Candy Cane Cookies

These cookies are yummy and pretty. They almost look as though you could hang them from your tree!

5. Gluten-Free Cutout Cookies

If you’re worried that Santa (or his reindeer) are gluten-free, you can always bake him these delicious cookies and he won’t be able to tell the difference!

6. Chocolate-Espresso Snowcaps

Santa will probably need these cookies if he’s running low on sleep! These are great for coffee lovers who want something sweet.

7.  Gingerbread Cookies

You can bring out your artistic side making these. Plus, they are a classic. Santa will love them as long as he isn’t close friends with any gingerbread men back in the North Pole.

8. Coal Cookies

Santa won’t want to put coal in your stocking after you bake these sweet treats. If you love oreos, then these cookies are great for you!
