Peppermint sandwich cookies

Maybe when you think of Holiday cookies, you're thinking of something fancier than an ordinary everyday type of cookie. We're pretty sure you'll enjoy these mouthwatering peppermint cookies. Besides getting a cookie filled with cream, you get a creamy, minty flavor that will keep you coming back for more.

Shortbread Cookies

Shortcake cookies are always good for spreading holiday cheer. They're traditional cookies made from butter and sugar.

Imagine yourself eating these treats with a hot mug of eggnog! The thought of it makes me drool.

Did you know that these Scottish treats only require three basic items? You'll need flour, butter, and sugar for this recipe.

Holiday-Themed Cookies

Candy Cane Cookies

They're soft, moist, crisp, and chewy all at the same.

With its speckled appearance, you'll enjoy a delightful crunch and some sweet and spicey flavor in each bite. They're the kind I just can't resist eating.

Apart from the flavor and texture, you'll also enjoy the festive vibe from the red and green candies.

Snowflake Sugar Cookies

Let's take a minute to appreciate how beautiful these snowflakes are.

They're almost too adorable to eat! They're as delicious as they are beautiful.

These are softer than most sugar cookies because they're made without butter. They're still firm enough to keep their shape.

Gingerbread Trees

Whoever came up with the idea of decorating gingerbread cookies to resemble Christmas trees is definitely deserving of a medal. They're so cute!

Gingerbread cookies are cut into triangles and covered with M&Ms and pretzels to create a festive holiday cookie.

They're breathtaking, but they're also incredibly tasty.

These are unlike ordinary gingerbread cookie doughs which are too crisp, hard, and brittle like brownies.

Reindeer Oreos

These reindeer cookies are so cute! How can anyone not be charmed by them?

Here's another delicious, no-baking recipe for cookies that'll be guaranteed holiday success.

With the help of chocolate, M&Ms, candy eyes, and Pretzel rods, anyone can turn ordinary Oreos into these magical reindeer.

They're not only beautiful, but they also taste delicious. You don't need to worry about going too far when eating these delicious treats.

Tips for Baking Holiday-Themed Cookies

Planning and baking these decadent treats can be overwhelming. Here are a few tips to make it a little easier for you! Whether you are baking for your kids at home or serving them on your menu, these will definitely help you out.

  • Use cookie cutters! You can go ahead and be a lot more creative by choosing different types of shapes.
  • Choose non-bake recipes. In a time crunch? Choose non-bake recipes

White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies

White chocolate cranberry cookie recipes are good for the soul. A single bite of these treats makes them smile.

They're festive enough to be served at holiday parties, but they're delicious any time of the year.

They're soft and sweet, and every bite has morsels of white chocolate, chewed-dried cranberries, and crunchy almonds.

Snowball cookies

When we discussed cookies covered in icing, it was probably the icing that caught your attention the best.

Then we definitely have an amazing recipe for you to enjoy. You could roll your cookie batter into balls and coat them in icing sugar until they look like real snowballs.

No-Bake Grinch Cookies

They're so delicious, they'll make your whole body feel happier!

Cookies are a fun way for you and the kids to spend time together. You'll be responsible for coating Oreos with melted chocolates, and they'll handle the decorating.

If you want to add color to white chocolate, use green food coloring instead of red.

For an alternative flavor, add matcha powder to the chocolate mixture. Matcha fans will love it!

Ginger Cookie Sandwiches

On their own, ginger cookies are already fantastic. They're perfectly crisp and sweet with a hint of spice from cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg.

These cookies are especially delicious because they're filled with something extra.

It's a combination of lemon curds and mascarpones, which makes it a sweet, creamy, zesty icing that counters the spice from the cookie dough well.

Chocolate hazelnut cookies

Do you prefer chocolate bars with hazelnut in them on a regular day? That's a flavor that can be used for both holiday cookies. We love the combination of the chewy texture of the cookie and the crunchy texture of the nuts.

Hershey Kiss cookies

We really enjoy baking cakes and cookies that include other goodies too. After all, what could be better than two delicious treats at once? Try adding chocolate Hershey's Kisses to your favorite Holiday cookie recipes! You can take your cookies to the next level and even decorate the kisses with sprinkles and icing.

Gumdrop Cookies

These cookies look so good by themselves that they already make me happy just by looking at them.

They're made from coconut and oats, so they're sure to taste delicious and have a wonderful chewy texture.

There's more. These brightly colored pieces of candy are shaped into small balls that melt away quickly but leave behind an intense burst of flavor.

Gingersnaps

They're a perfect batch of cookies. These crispy, chewy, gooey biscuits are perfect for dunking into tea or coffee.

They're delicious with a hint of caramelized sugar from the molasses, but they get their perfect amount of spiciness from the cinnamon.

It tastes so good and is really easy to put together, but they take less than an hour to complete. It couldn't be any better than that.

Chocolate Blizzard Cookies

After tasting the Chocolate Blizzard cookie, you can finally understand why the creator called it that way. When the ingredients like bread flour, granulated sugar, and butter combine, the resulting mixture is going to be perfect. It's neither too chewy nor too brittle. It has a good balance between softness and hardness, so you can easily chew through it.

Like other cookies, the most essential part is the flavor. The mixture of white and dark chocolate tastes like a match made in Heaven.
