25 of the best holiday cookies

Are you a baker? If so, you will love all these wonderful holiday Christmas cookie recipes. I love this time of year, especially the holiday baking and gift giving part of it. When I was little our next door neighbor spent about 2 months before Christmas baking every kind of cookie and baked goods imaginable. It was like walking into a bakery.

When I was little our next door neighbor spent about 2 months before Christmas baking every kind of cookie and baked goods imaginable. It was like walking into a bakery. It smelled so good when the cookies were baking.

Today I don’t have as much time to bake as she did or as many people to feed but I still love to bake, especially with the Christmas tree up and the Christmas music playing, it creates such a warm and comforting environment. I call it baking therapy.

Some of my favorite cookie recipes are Peppermint Kiss Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, Chocolate Pretzel Peanut Butter Bites, Cranberry Orange Cookies, and Pumpkin Eggnog Thumbprint Cookies.
