25 Days of Christmas Cookies: Our Favorite Christmas Cookie Recipes

Christmas cookies is probably my favorite part of Christmas.

Sure, it’s also the reason I gain 15 pounds every holiday season, but also, worth it! The deliciousness of Christmas cookies is reason enough to spend hours in the kitchen, but it’s also a fun family tradition many enjoy.

At our house, baking Christmas cookies starts on Thanksgiving night and doesn’t stop until Christmas Eve when we bake Santa’s favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookies to leave by the tree.

If you’re looking for some delicious Christmas cookies to try this holiday season, here are 25 amazing recipes for Christmas cookies you should definitely try.
