Why we love these cookie recipes

I love to bake cookies all year long, but there’s something about baking cookies during the holidays that is extra special.

These fifteen recipes below are my very favorites, because along with being easy to make and wonderful treats to have in your own cookie jar, they also make delicious holiday gifts from the kitchen.

And while a pile of fresh-baked cookies is an AWESOME gift all by itself, here’s a few ways to take your cookie present skills to the next level!

Make your cookie gift even more delectable!

Pop them on an adorable plate!

This sweet little plate can be used again on Christmas Eve for that all important gift of cookies and milk for Santa.

Include the recipe with the cookies!

There’s nothing like a handwritten recipe card to make a homemade gift even more delicious.

Include a box of Christmas tea!

A warm cup of tea with a homemade Christmas cookie? Now that’s a treat.

Make a peppermint plate to go with the cookies!

That’s right, you can bake up a fully edible peppermint plate right in your own kitchen!

No matter what cookie recipe is your favorite, it’s pretty much guaranteed that baking them up will spread merriment throughout your house!

Christmas flowers

So without further ado, here are fifteen (SO HARD TO CHOOSE!) of our faves. And if you want to share YOUR fave, tell us in the comments!
