Can you believe that Christmas is just over a month away!? This fall has gone by fast and I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to all the goodies and cheer that comes with this time of year. One of my favourite holiday traditions is baking Christmas cookies. I love making a few different varieties, because lets be honest, when it comes to cookies who doesn’t enjoy trying a few different kinds.
I’ve put together a collection of 75 different cookie recipes for you to try this holiday season. Think of the faces of your friends and family and how they’ll light up when you present them with a box of homemade cookies. Of course, if you just wanna make a batch and enjoy them during a Netflix marathon, I won’t tell! Add some sugar and spice to your holiday baking with these must try Christmas cookie recipes.
Click each of the links for the full instructions to each cookie recipe. I’ve grouped them into categories to help you find what you’re looking for and make for easier browsing
